Reserva Natural Especial del Chinyero, Special nature reserve in Santa Cruz de Tenerife Province, Spain
The protected area spans 2,300 hectares, featuring the Chinyero volcano at 1,560 meters elevation with pine trees and broom plants throughout the terrain.
The last volcanic eruption in Tenerife occurred at Chinyero in 1909, lasting ten days and modifying the surrounding landscape with lava flows.
The reserve contains 14 volcanic cones that represent recent volcanic activity in Tenerife, making it an important site for geological research.
Visitors can access the reserve through multiple entry points from El Tanque, Garachico, or Santiago del Teide municipalities via marked walking trails.
The reserve houses 113 endemic plant species that survive on aeroplankton carried by wind due to limited soil nutrients in the volcanic terrain.
