The Caldera de Los Cuervos stands out for its characteristic profile with irregular edges. In the past, inadequate use was made of its slopes, both to extract pyroclasts for agriculture and construction, and to obtain olivine (green stone used for jewelry). Once at the base of the cone you can comfortably access the interior of the caldera, surrounded by steep dark edges on which only a few rumexes grow.

The Montana del Cuervo has an opening where you can get inside the crater.

This volcano is the first volcanic cone formed during the Timanfaya eruption that took place between 1730 and 1736. Today it is known as the Raven's Cauldron (Caldera de los Cuervos).
