Montaña Amarilla, Natural monument in southern Tenerife, Spain.

The volcanic cone formation near Costa del Silencio displays yellow-tinted rocks resulting from underwater eruptions along the southern coastline of Tenerife.

The site received official protection status in 1994 through Autonomous Region Act 12/94, establishing it as both a Natural Monument and environmental sensitivity zone.

Local fishermen and early island inhabitants utilized the coastal area around Montaña Amarilla for maritime activities and resource gathering throughout generations.

Visitors reach the site via TF-1 highway, taking the Las Chafiras exit and following TF-655 road until the marked turnoff towards the coastal area.

The mountain exhibits a rare fossil dune between lava structures, exposed through marine erosion of its phreatomagmatic cone formation.

Inception: 1994
