What is it?
Acantilados de Isorana Site of Scientific Interest is a stretch of cliffs around 3 kilometres long and between 25 and 30 metres high, home to a number of endangered bird species such as Bulwer's petrel (Bulweria bulwerii) and the little shearwater (Puffinus assimilis).
Getting there
Although this protected stretch of sea cliffs is best observed from the sea it can also be accessed from the TF-47, which passes through the village of Playa San Juan. Leaving the village, continue on towards Santa Cruz and between kilometres 6 and 8 of the TF-47 you will find a number of dirt tracks that lead down to the sea and approach the upper edge of the cliffs.
