This natural area is within the municipal area of Adeje and Vilaflor and has dimensions that exceed 774 hectares.

In Ifonche you can find a wide variety of elements, including Roque de Imoque, Heather or the nearby escarpments of Barranco del Infierno. It is also important to talk about the vegetation that can be found throughout the place, among which stands out the pine forest and the populations of marigold, Calendula Arvensis, which are typical of fallow crops.

There is also a variety of fauna, such as endemic butterflies and birds that nest in the area.

The Landscape of Ifonche also offers other charms, as elements of great ernographic value such as constructions linked to the rural world: traditional stone houses, ditches or water channels, galleries, terraces or a pretérita era of stone where the cereals were threshed to obtain the grain.
