The Mirador de Jardina is located next to the TF-12 road, at the entrance to the Anaga Rural Park (UNESCO Biosphere Reserve), in the municipality of San Cristobal de La Laguna. It offers a wide panoramic view of the plain and the city of La Laguna (Valle de Aguere), which extends towards the sea, with the silhouette of Teide in the background on clear days. Between these points, you can see fields of crops, population centers, and rich mid-altitude vegetation, where the characteristic laurel forest of Anaga begins to appear.

It is a convenient and very accessible stop, with parking, interpretive panels, and access for people with reduced mobility, ideal as the start of a route through the viewpoints of Anaga.
