Pico Viejo is a volcano located on the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain). It is the second highest peak of Tenerife and the Canary Islands (after Mt Teide) with a height of 3,135 m above sea level.
This volcano is part of the volcanic complex Teide-Pico Viejo formation which began about 200,000 years ago in the center of the island. Its crater, about 800 meters in diameter, is one of the satellites craters around Mt Teide.
Historical activity associated with the Montaña Teide - Pico Viejo stratovolcanoes occurred in 1798 from the Narices del Teide on the western flank of Pico Viejo. Eruptive material from Pico Viejo-Montaña Teide-Montaña Blanca partially fills the Las Cañadas caldera.
Photographed from Mt Teide.
