Monte del Agua

Monte del Agua contains dense laurel forests with native Canarian pigeons, spreading across elevated terrains between El Tanque and Los Silos municipalities.

The forest region supported cereal cultivation and farming activities until the early 19th century, connecting northern and southern parts of Tenerife through established trade routes.

The Erjos pools in Los Dornajos transformed from aggregate extraction sites into water reservoirs that now support local bird populations and ecosystem preservation.

The hiking network spans 11 kilometers with a 343-meter elevation gain, starting from Erjos town and leading through marked forest tracks to Las Portelas.

Two prominent pine trees at the trail entrance capture moisture from trade winds, creating a natural water collection system that sustains the entire forest ecosystem.
