The Caldera de las Cañadas is a huge volcanic collapse. It is located in the center of the island of Tenerife. This landscape, approximately 17 kilometers in diameter, is bordered to the south by crater walls that are an average of 500 meters high. The floor of the huge crater is at an almost continuous altitude of over 2,000 meters. Las Cañadas is one of the largest volcanic cirques in the world.
