Northern Tenerife
Arenas Negras Volcanic Landscape
A black volcanic landscape above Garachico where recent-looking lava and cinder contrast sharply with surrounding pine forest.
About this volcanic site
Arenas Negras is a volcanic area above Garachico where dark cinder and lava interrupt the pine forest. The contrast makes the site one of the clearest places to see vegetation gradually recolonising volcanic terrain.
The landscape also connects naturally with Garachico’s eruption history, helping visitors link the town’s 1706 disaster with the wider volcanic system above the coast.
