In the middle of the crater, between two gorges and a mountain ridge, rises a rock needle of volcanic basalt, almost a hundred meters high: the Roque Idafe. According to the tradition of the natives, it was of great importance because it was probably seen as a support between heaven and earth. Animal sacrifices were made to him to prevent the rock from collapsing and causing a great catastrophe. However, the story could not be substantiated by archaeological finds. The Roque Idafe was declared a natural monument in 1994.

Hiking

At the foot of Roque Idafe, it is important to choose the right path out of the caldera. One of the paths ends at a steep wall where there is no way forward and you have to walk back the whole way - which can be life-threatening in hot weather.
