Teide & Central Tenerife

Tabonal Negro Lava Field

A dark volcanic landscape in Teide National Park known for shiny black volcanic glass and rugged lava textures.

Volcano & TeideNature & Forests

Tabonal Negro is associated with some of the park’s darkest volcanic material, including obsidian-like glassy rock formed when silica-rich lava cooled rapidly.

The site shows how different lava chemistry and cooling conditions can produce textures very different from the rough basalt fields seen elsewhere on Tenerife.

Do not collect obsidian or other volcanic material. Remain on marked areas to protect fragile geological surfaces.
