Miradouro da Lua- Travel Tips What to See, How to Plan & Tours: Natural Scenery; Angola; 5 Reviews

Suggested Duration: 3 hours

About 40 kilometers from Luanda, Angola, lies "Miradouro da Lua," or the "Viewpoint of the Moon". This stunning site features a lunar-like landscape shaped by erosion into canyons and ridges. The viewpoint offers dramatic vistas of colorful rock strata and a panoramic view of intricate formations cascading toward the ocean, creating a vast karst landscape. It's particularly breathtaking at sunset when the canyons glow in vibrant reds. Accessible via Nacional Highway 100, visitors can choose between official tours or renting a car for a more personal experience. While there are beachside restaurants nearby, the main attraction is easily viewed from the road. Caution is advised due to potential erosion, and minimal signage makes planning essential.

"It's a great spot for a weekend evening. The view is beautiful, with the sun seeming to sink into the sea and the refreshing waves bringing in fresh air. It would be a lovely time to spend with loved ones while enjoying a cup of coffee. 🌅🌊☕"

The road from Luanda to the location is a scenic drive, with a well-maintained road that offers a pleasant journey. The sight itself is breathtaking and unique, providing a stunning view of nature's creation. Along the way to the location, there are also smaller similar formations that add to the charm of the trip. The entire area is a picturesque landscape with lush green vegetation and an exquisite ocean view. Although the bar and tourist information center were closed when we visited, it didn't detract from the overall beauty of the place.

Crazy beautiful place. Awesome views. You pay an entry fee. 500 Kwanza for a car that seats 5 people. 1000 Kwanza for a car that sits up to 12 people. There's a small bar with cold drinks and snacks. Very well maintained benches and viewpoint. Stunning views of the rock formations and beach in the background. Highly recommend.
