Teide & Central Tenerife
Pico viejo
Pico Viejo is a volcano located on the island of Tenerife in Canary Islands, Spain.
Pico Viejo is a volcano located on the island of Tenerife in Canary Islands, Spain. It is the second highest peak of Tenerife and the Canary Islands (after Teide), with a summit height of 3,129 m above sea level, and a crater approximately 720 metres in diameter.
The volcano is part of the Teide volcanic complex, which began forming about 200,000 years ago in the center of Tenerife. Its crater is one of the satellite craters around Teide.
It last erupted in 1798, and it is estimated that it ejected around 12 million m³ of lava over three months forming a black colored surface, which is different from the rest of the volcano area, which are known as the Teide noses.
