Bandama Caldera
The Bandama Natural Monument is part of the Tafira Protected Landscape on the island of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Spain. It's considered a point of geological interest, because of the Caldera de Bandama. This volcanic crater, which is geologically a maar rather than a caldera, reaches 569 m above sea level at the highest point on its rim, Pico de Bandama, and is about 1,000 m wide and 200 m deep.
The bottom of the caldera contains volcanic ash of different colors, and some botanic species of Canary Islands origin.
The Caldera de Bandama is located at the meeting point of three municipalities: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Brígida and Telde.Gallery
