Monumento Natural de los Volcanes de Teneguía

The Teneguía Volcanoes Natural Monument encompasses 857 hectares of black volcanic terrain with multiple craters and solidified lava flows on La Palma island.

The 1971 Teneguía volcanic eruption marked the last terrestrial volcanic event in the Canary Islands, releasing substantial quantities of magma that shaped the current landscape.

Local inhabitants of La Palma have developed agricultural practices utilizing the mineral-rich volcanic soil to cultivate grapes for wine production near the monument.

The San Antonio visitor center provides access to hiking trails and educational information about the volcanic formations, with parking facilities available for visitors.

The monument contains specific species adapted to volcanic environments, including the Anataelia lavicola insect, which exists exclusively in this volcanic terrain.
