It was declared a National Park in January 1954, thus becoming the first in the Canary Islands and the third oldest in Spain.

On this visit you will take in natural scenery of infinite beauty, enter volcanic territory, haphazardly shaped by lava and moulded by the passage of time, and discover a unique, high-altitude tract of land with a biodiversity, both rich and original.
