Located between the municipalities of El Tanque, Los Silos and Buenavista del Norte, in the north of Tenerife, this easy walk is nearly all on forest tracks and joins the rural areas of Erjos and Las Portelas. The path crosses Monte del Agua and Pasos, a big wood of verdant plants with laurel forest and Myrica faya.
The Monte del Agua to Las Portelas trek is a 20 kilometers route with an incline of 343 metres, and starts in the town of Erjos, a place of historical importance in the Canaries as it was the connection point for the northern and southern regions of Tenerife. A cereal growing and farming area, the walk goes through laurel forest and pines, pools of water and orchards in the area of El Palmar, in Teno Rural park. Of average difficulty, wear suitable clothing and footwear and take food and liquids.
The views in good weather are breathtaking, but It was cloudy that day.
Unlucky! Still..a great walk!
