Toponymy


The term Chache is of probably of Guanche origin. As for its possible meaning, the philologist Maximiano Trapero has proposed its translation as 'the height'.[2][3]


Characteristics


Peñas del Chache is a rocky mountain located in the Famara massif. The top is occupied by an installation of the Air Surveillance Squadron.


Geology


Peñas del Chache is a basaltic intrusive formation dating from the Miocene period, and is part of the Famara volcanic edifice, one of the oldest massifs on the island.[4][5]


Vegetation


The surroundings of the Peñas del Chache were characterized by thickets of the Canarian thermophilic forest in the past. However, historical human activity has caused its near disappearance, finding itself dominated by substitution thickets such as bitter tabaibal in modern times, dominated by the wild spurge Euphorbia regis-jubae, and the tojio thickets Asteriscus intermedius and Lavandula dentata.[6]


Archeological sites


Nearby, archaeological remains of the ancient inhabitants of Lanzarote, the majos, have been found.[7]
