Tips
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.
