Tijeretas Hill

-A stone cut path that crosses through a native wildlife forest that ends in a captivating inlet for snorkeling.

Tijeretas Hill a.k.a. Frigate Bird Hill

Named for the frigates of the place, whose tail ends in the form of scissors, it was one of the first places where the English Biologist Charles Robert Darwin landed.

Cerro Tijeretas (or Frigate Bird Hill) is a lookout high on a cliff edge in a popular breeding area for birds. The trail to this clifftop viewpoint leads out the back of the interpretation centre. Follow the paved pathway through lava and cactus fields until you reach the wooden platform at the top. This point is named after the large frigate birds (tijeretas is a Spanish nickname for the bird) as they are frequently seen in the trees here.
