Located just 6 km northwest of Pico de las Nieves and 23 km southwest of the island's capital, Las Palmas, Tejeda is the perfect spot for exploring the island's unique geography and geology. The municipality covers an area of 103.3 km², and it is situated on the western side of the island, encompassing the island's second-highest point - Pico de las Nieves.

Particular attention deserves natural landmarks such as Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga, as well as historical sites like cuevas del Rey and Acusa Seca, which are part of Spain's cultural heritage. These places are perfect for hiking and exploring the island's ancient traditions.

Caldera de Tejeda, a volcanic crater that houses the village, is a unique geological feature formed by a powerful magma explosion. This place demonstrates the 2-million-year evolution of the island and is an example of one of the largest collapsed volcanic craters in the world.

Visit Tejeda and experience the impressive landscape of the volcanic caldera, which, according to biologist Juan Sergio Socorro, resembles Dante's description of the infernal cauldrons. This unique place is where every stone and rock tells its story about the forces of nature and time.
