From this point you have, standing slightly elevated on a slope, an excellent overview of the ash cone of the Chinyero and its lava flows. The contrast between the green "Corona Forrestal" and the lava moonscape is particularly impressive here.

Hiking

The Chinyero is a cinder cone on the slopes of the Pico del Teide on the Canary Island of Tenerife and is about 10 km from its peak. Although it is 1556 meters high, it only rises 60 meters above its surroundings.

Its eruption from November 18th to 27th, 1909 was the last volcanic eruption on Tenerife to date. Over 2 km² of land was devastated by lava and ash, but no one was hurt.

In its neighborhood, barely 3 km away, lies another cinder cone, which destroyed the port city of Garachico in 1706 with lava flows.

And those who take a break here should be prepared for hordes of cheeky lizards, who show little timidity but a great deal of hunger ....
