This area is home to a very unique natural element that is representative of the landscape of the island and it is a symbol for the people who live here. It is part of ancient material remains that formed the central structure of the island which, due to intense erosive processes, has since been modelled into an unusual relief.
Location: Tejeda
Surface area: 451.8 hectares.

These measures aim to control visitor numbers, protect the natural environment and improve accessibility to Roque Nublo by public transport. If you plan to visit, be sure to book in advance and consider the different options when planning your visit: where to park, how to get there and how to return, either by public transport (it is very important to check the timetables) or by walking along the trails in the area.
