Miradouro da Lua is Luanda’s most iconic viewpoint — a surreal, lunar-like cliffscape carved by wind and rain, dropping into the Atlantic. It’s the perfect photo stop on the coastal road toward Sangano and Cabo Ledo.

• Dramatic badlands and sweeping sea views.
• Easy add-on to a beach/lunch day in Sangano or a Kwanza River outing.
• Golden hour light is spectacular for photos and video.

• By car: ~1–1h15 south via the coastal EN100. Road is paved; last metres are dirt.
• With a driver/guide: Combine with Sangano, Boutique Lodge Sangano, and Mangais/Kwanza River.
• Parking: Informal, along the cliff rim — take extreme care near the edges.

• Late afternoon for softer light and colours.
• Mornings are often clearer if you want crisper horizons.

• Hat, water, sunscreen.
• Closed shoes (ground can be sandy and uneven).
• Camera/phone with extra battery or power bank.

• Keep a safe distance from the edge — cliffs can be crumbly.
• Mind your step in windy conditions and avoid overhanging sections.
• Pack out all rubbish and leave no trace.
