Bandama Caldera (The Caldera de Bandama Natural Monument), part of theTafira Protected Landscape. This volcaniccaldera reaches 569 m (1,867 ft) above sea level at the highest point on its rim, Pico de Bandama, and is about 1,000 m (3,300 ft) wide and 200 m (660 ft) deep. The steep walk to the bottom of the caldera takes about half an hour. Volcanic ash of different hues is in great abundance, and there are some interesting botanic species of Canary Islands origin.
Archaeological sites in Santa Brígida.
