Montaña de Guaza, Nature reserve and volcanic cone in southern Tenerife, Spain.

A 725-hectare protected area features high coastal cliffs named Mesas de Guaza, formed by volcanic slopes extending to the Mediterranean Sea.

The volcanic formation emerged through geological processes that shaped Tenerife's southern coast, creating two concentric craters reaching 400 meters in height.

The natural monument received official protection status through the Canary Islands Territory Act, ensuring preservation of its geological and biological elements.

Visitors can access the reserve through Los Cristianos by taking TF-1 to TF-655, or from El Palm-Mar via TF-6222 with available parking facilities.

The reserve hosts populations of endemic reptiles and maintains nesting grounds for seabirds along its vertical rock walls.
