Description

This trail sets off from Arico Nuevo and heads towards La Degollada and Las Calzadas de la Sabinita. 

Leaving houses and farmland behind, you will ascend the ridge of Lomo de Tamadaya, where you will pass Casas de Tamadaya, the area of Los Colorados and the house of Arenas de Tenesco. 

The trail then leads along the top of Salto de las Yedras and across the Hornito and La Jarreta ravines. 

Finally, the route takes you to the Casas del Contador and ends at El Contador Recreational Area.

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.
