Descripción

Montaña Roja Nature Reserve not only includes the 'Red Mountain', but also the surrounding wilderness of 166 hectares. The area has strangely shaped rocks, humid areas with puddles, tidal pools, sandy beaches and bays and the bare volcano covered with reddish lava and decorated with tabaiba plants. This is an excellent location for watching sea birds, shorebirds and migratory birds. You can walk along the beach or climb to the top of the volcano for great views. On the eastern side of the area the lagoon of Charca del Médano (see star on the map) is the hotspot of the area and the best place in the reserve for shorebirds. You can't enter the lagoon, please respect this and keep your distance so as not to disturb the birds.

Among the birds you can encounter in Montaña Roja Nature Reserve are Zarapito Trinador, Chorlitejo Grande, Correlimos Tridáctilo, Chorlito Gris, Andarríos Chico, Vuelvepiedras Común, Alcaudón Norteño, Bisbita Caminero and Pardela cenicienta.
