Corralejo Natural Park sits on Pleistocene volcanic deposits; cones like Calderón Hondo are cinder-built remnants of comparatively recent eruptions that shaped the island’s arid terrain.
Conservation
The park is protected—stay on permitted tracks, minimize disturbance to wildlife, and avoid feeding animals outside guide-supervised moments to prevent habituation.
