    Tips

    The eruption of El Charco was not as devastating as other historical or modern eruptions, but it still had an impact on the island, affecting agricultural areas and the lives of local people.

    The 1712 eruption is not as famous as Tajuya, San Juan, or the recent Cumbre Vieja eruption in 2021, but it is part of the archipelago's record of volcanic activity that is important to understand the nature and frequency of volcanic eruptions in this region.

    The volcanic activity on La Palma is part of the geological activity of the Canary Islands hotspot. Although specific details about the 1712 Charco eruption may not be complete, volcanologists study these historical eruptions to better understand how volcanoes have shaped the island and to predict possible future eruptive events.

        To admire the frozen volcanic forces is really worth a detour.
