Erjos – Monte del Agua Self-guided Trail

Macizo de Teno

Difficulty: Low

Description

Take a walk around Erjos to learn about its history and the values that define it today. The walk follows an out-and-back, low-difficulty route.

It starts in Plaza Nueva and winds its way between houses and farmland. It then climbs upwards to reach Monte del Agua, where both the landscape and the climate will change radically, as will your sensations.

This last section runs along an accessible path. After a few more minutes, you will reach the last stop, a viewpoint overlooking Monte del Agua.

Tips

  • Always stay on the marked trail and do not enter private property, hunting grounds, water galleries, wells or caves. 
  • Pay special attention when crossing or walking along trails used by bicycles, horses or motor vehicles and when walking in ravines with water courses.
  • Avoid direct encounters with potentially dangerous animals, such as livestock, beehives, and dogs. 
  • Proceed with caution and watch for obstacles, loose rocks, uneven terrain or steep slopes to avoid accidents and falls.
  • Check out our guide to hiking in Tenerife and, if necessary, contact the emergency services by calling 112.
