Macizo de Teno, Mountain range and volcanic formation in northwestern Tenerife, Spain

The Macizo de Teno features deep ravines ending at the sea, with Los Gigantes cliffs descending into the Atlantic Ocean at its western edge.

The volcanic formation emerged between 5 to 7 million years ago, marking one of the three primary geological structures that shaped the island of Tenerife.

Traditional villages like Masca, Teno Alto, and Los Carrizales maintain agricultural practices specific to the Canary Islands within the mountainous landscape.

The area contains multiple hiking paths connecting different sections, with the main route starting at Restaurante Fleytas between Erjos and Santiago del Teide.

The European Union designated this region as a protected area due to its substantial population of native pigeons inhabiting the Macaronesian laurel forests.
