La Ensillada - Cabezo de Tejo

Macizo de Anaga

Difficulty: Medium

Description

A complementary or alternative route to El Pijaral - La Ensillada trail, which also enters the El Pijaral Reserve and therefore requires prior authorisation. 

The trail starts at the La Ensillada car park and, in less than 3 km, reaches the Cabezo de Tejo viewpoint, which offers a spectacular panoramic view of the north coast of the Anaga Massif.

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.
