Overview

The Cerro Gordo Tower was built in the 16th century on top of an old watchtower from the times of the Kingdom of Granada to protect the workers and fishermen in the area. It visually connects to the west with the Caleta or Cantarriján tower, and to the east with the Torre de la Herradura.
Formerly it was a favorable place for pirates, who took control of this area to enter the territory and cause terror in the native population, a fact that had a decisive influence on the low number of residents who lived in the towns nearby.

    Torre de Vigía

    It is a route oriented towards photography, in which we will visit the Cerro Gordo Watchtower and its viewpoint, located on a sea headland from which we can have panoramic views of the Bahía de la Herradura and the entire natural area of the Maro cliffs. It is a hiking route along the tropical coast suitable for all levels. We will walk a path of about 5 kilometers of an easy level and we will visit the beach of Cantarriján, where we will be able to enjoy the views, and take a photographic tour. We will meet at the viewpoint and go to the Cerro Gordo Watchtower, once here we will take a break from where we will have unique views of the bay. We will return to the point of origin to go to the Cantarriján beach. Here we will have free time to enjoy the landscape, and then we will return to the meeting point where our tour will end.
