Monumento Natural de la Montaña Centinela

The Mountain Sentinel is a natural monument that is located in the coastal area of Villa de Arico. The main attraction offered by the Montaña Centinela is that it is a piroplastic cone that is accompanied by surrounding peripheral plains occupied by an important community of Cardonal-Tabaibal.

As you get closer to the mountain you can see better the type of landscape, very characteristic of the southern part of the island and where there are more ancient eruptions around the sentinel mountain. In the area you can find kestrels or lizards that can be seen in other parts of Tenerife.

The value of the Mountain Sentinel is important, so much so that it was declared a natural monument and area of ecological sensitivity by the Autonomic Law.
