Things to do in Fuencaliente

  1. Volcán San Antonio

    Don't miss the short but breathtaking walk along the rim of Volcán San Antonio. It takes just 20 minutes to walk the gravel path halfway around the yawning chasm of this great black cone, which last blew in 1949 and is now being repopulated by hardy Canary pines. Afterwards, take a look at the small visitor centre, where a seismograph constantly measures volcanic movement in the area shows a boring but comforting straight line. You can also take a camel ride around the volcano.

  2. Bodegas Teneguía

    After getting your fill of the craters, check out the town's other claim to fame: the wines made in this volcanic soil. The largest winery in town is Bodegas Teneguía, with white, red and sweet wines that are sold all over the island and beyond. There's also a good restaurant in the winery.
