Monumento Natural de Cardón
Monumento Natural de Cardón
Fuerteventura
El Monumento Natural de la Montaña del Cardón se encuentra al sur de la localidad de Pájara, y está formada por los restos de un edificio volcánico antiguo. Montaña de Cardón es un macizo montañoso con una interesante erosión diferencial que ha estado incidiendo, durante varios millones de años, en el lugar hasta dar origen a un imponente paisaje con forma de lomo-cuchillo que alberga en sus laderas el jorjado, que es una especie vegetal endémica en la isla.
Lo más destacado de esta montaña es su impacto visual debido a que se encuentra en una zona de baja altura, además de atraer las miradas con sus colores rojizos.
Desde su cima se puede obtener una vista espectacular de la zona de Cofete y llaman la atención los "pitones volcánicos" (restos de los conductos del volcán por donde salía el material eruptivo).
En la ladera oriental de la montaña se encuentra la "Ermita del Tanquito", de fácil acceso y donde se celebra todos los años una romería desde el pueblo de El Cardón.
