Volcano country
An overwhelming landscape, fruit of the recent, intense volcanic activity.
This is terrain of volcanic origin with strange, curious formations which emerged from the solidification of the lava. The presence of vegetation is very scarce, except in the areas with the oldest materials, prior to the las eruptions in the 18th and 19th centuries. Lichens proliferate here, there being almost a hundred different species. In the fresher areas the wild geranium, St. John's wort and the Canary Island aeonium are common. As for the fauna, the reptiles and birds, who have adapted well to the exceptional conditions of the park, dominate.
