Caldera del Rey, Volcanic caldera in Adeje, Spain.

The Caldera del Rey extends across 108 hectares of land, featuring steep volcanic walls and diverse geological formations in the southern region of Tenerife.

The natural monument gained official protection status in 1987 and was later reclassified as a natural monument in December 1994 to ensure its preservation.

Ancient inhabitants of Tenerife created cave dwellings within the tuff walls of the caldera, establishing a community of 354 residents by 1950.

The area contains marked trails for visitors to explore the geological formations, with increased accessibility from the nearby town of Adeje.

The caldera formed through phreatomagmatic-explosive volcanism when magma met water, resulting in a powerful eruption that shaped the current landscape.
