Parque Rural de Teno, Nature reserve in El Tanque, Spain.

Parque Rural de Teno is a nature reserve in northwestern Tenerife that spans approximately 8,000 hectares of diverse terrain. The landscape features steep cliffs, deep valleys, and dense laurel forests distributed across different elevation zones.

The park was declared a natural park by Law 12/1987 of 19 June and reclassified as a rural park by Law 12/1994 of 19 December. Its five hamlets—Los Carrizales, Masca, El Palmar, Las Portelas and Teno Alto, all in Buenavista del Norte—preserve architectural heritage, archaeological sites and traditions. The massif's cliffs and ravines also hold traces of earlier settlement.

The park includes five population centres: Los Carrizales, Masca, El Palmar, Las Portelas and Teno Alto, all in Buenavista del Norte. The traditions still kept in the comarca are part of its ethnographic value, alongside its architectural heritage and archaeological sites.
