One of the best view for Los Gigantes area>bay>town>cliffs. There is park place next to the road, cosy coffee shop with some sweet treats and local souvenirs where you can seat, drink and relax watching ocean and town below. PS. Did I mention place is situated on beautiful curved TF-454?! It’s a heaven for motorbikes and those who like driving mountain like.
Beautiful spot to view Los Gigantes cliffs. I highly recommend stopping here. There are free parking spots coming to the mirador but also a bit further down and than you can hike few minutes back up. Next to mirador there is a souvenir shop and small restaurant. After seeing los Gigantes from the top I recommend driving down to the beach and marina where you can admire cliffs from bottom angle.
A good place to stop and see the cliffs, parking close to the bend in front of the souvenir shop. From here you can see los Gigantes, relatively close to the city. The city is nice with a relatively small center. The city is the last on the south, followed by the cliffs to which the north has no city's on the ocean.

Getting to Mirador Archipenque
Archipenque’s viewpoint is located next to the general road of Puerto de Santiago. The view from this viewpoint is an unforgettable experience for the soul and the senses. You can admire the stunning views of the giants’ cliffs with their more than 500 meters high.
When's the best time to visit Mirador Archipenque?
The Best Time to Visit Canary Islands. The best times to visit the Canary Islands are spring (March-May) and Fall (September-November). Spring offers warm weather, fewer tourists, and lower rates. Fall also enjoys mild weather with sunny skies and less rain than other times of the year.
Probably The most Breathtaking views from this lovely locally run café serving drinks, snacks and freshly home baked local delights. Highly recommend if you are a competent driver in Tenerife and comfortable with a few hair pins on the route down.
Solid viewpoint, access doesn’t require a lot of windy roads so it’s really straighrforward. Parking can be a little tough based on the amount of tourists but there is space before and after the viewpoint so you should be okay. There is a restaurant and a souvenir shop here as well if you’re looking for something.
Medium sized terrace of approx 20 tables situated on the right hand side (passenger side) of the curvy road that takes you to Santiago Harbour (Puerto de Santiago). Place is situated at the beginning of the descent drive and has a few free parking spaces on the same side of the road, but it fills up pretty quickly. They serve all sorts of beverages, ice creams, coffees and have also a small shop on the same premises that offers souvenirs (fridge magnets, hats, sunglasses, postcards and so on). The impressive views from the open deck are the main attraction, there are also a few benches on the side, outside the cafe, which won’t cost one anything if not keen to spend. Great views across the ocean to see the silhouette of La Gomera island, especially if in the area when the sun is about to set. A gentle breeze sometimes, because of the elevation, which may disappear if you explore the surroundings by foot, offering other great views of Los Gigantes.
