Volcán Chinyero

El Chinyero is a volcanic cone that reaches 1,561 meters in altitude, located a few kilometers from the slopes of El Teide. It was the site of the last recorded eruption in Tenerife, which began on November 18, 1909, and ceased nine days later. It gives its name to the Special Nature Reserve of Chinyero, a protected area of about 2,379 hectares distributed among the municipalities of Santiago del Teide, El Tanque, and Garachico, which preserves a notable concentration of volcanoes and recent lava flows.
