Volcano & TeideNature & ForestsViewpoints

Llano de Ucanca is one of the widest open spaces on the floor of Las Cañadas Caldera. Its relatively flat appearance contrasts with the surrounding lava fields and steep caldera walls.

The plain gives visitors a sense of the enormous scale of the caldera and makes a useful visual counterpoint to nearby rock formations such as Roques de García.
