About this volcanic site

Montaña Mostaza is one of the smaller volcanic cones scattered across Tenerife’s central highlands. Its presence helps visitors see that the Teide landscape was assembled from numerous vents and eruptive episodes.

Smaller cones like this are important geological markers because they identify former eruption points even when the associated lava fields are partly weathered or covered.

Do not leave designated routes to climb fragile cinder slopes. Loose volcanic material erodes easily.
