About this volcanic site

Roque de Garachico is the offshore volcanic rock that defines the seaward view from the historic town. Its isolated position makes it both a strong landscape symbol and an important refuge for wildlife.

Seabirds and migratory birds use the islet, while the rock’s form helps frame Garachico’s dramatic relationship with the Atlantic coast and volcanic history.

Visitor information

Good to know

The protected islet is offshore and should be viewed from Garachico’s coast rather than accessed directly.
