The reviews echo this — Federico called the landscape “real wild nature,” appreciating the authentic, untouched feel.

It’s a classic postcard scene and ideal for photos, as you’ll have about 15 minutes to walk around and soak in the views. The nearby Castillo del Tostón is a historic fortress with ocean vistas that tell tales of pirates and maritime history.
