Description

La Tahona Campsite is located on the northern slopes of Tenerife at an altitude of 1,100 metres, and therefore tends to be cool and damp.

It is a dense forest of Canary Island pines mixed with typical monteverde species such as faya (Morella faya), tree heath (Erica arborea) and acebiño (Ilex canariensis).  The more open areas are dotted with bushes and colourful flowering plants, such as corazoncillo (Lotus campylocladus) or a species of rockrose known as jara (Cistus symphytifolius). As for the fauna, the most common species in the area are chaffinches, chiffchaffs and blue tits.

Vehicle access is via a dirt track.

There are waymarked routes for cycling, horse riding or motor vehicles that start and finish here.

The camping area adjoins the recreational area offering a range of services.

Tips

  • Enjoy the local plant and animal life without disturbing it. Be curious but from a safe and respectful distance.
  • Follow the rules and instructions on the signs to avoid disturbance to people and animals.
  • Keep the environment clean and leave no litter behind. Rubbish and cigarette butts must be disposed of in the designated containers.
  • Travel in small groups to keep noise pollution and the impact on the environment to a minimum.  
  • Use the water in the toilets and taps responsibly. Water is a scarce and precious commodity on our island.
