Corona Forestal Nature Reserve
With more than 45,000 hectares, this nature reserve on the island of Tenerife is the largest in the Canary Islands and encircles Teide National Park. It is mainly a forest area at a very varied altitude (from 300 to 2,700 metres), where pine forests and mountain vegetation predominate.
High mountain species are found at higher altitudes. On the other hand, the fauna is characterised by the bird species typical of the Canarian pine forest, such as the Teide blue chaffinch, the great spotted woodpecker and the sparrowhawk, among others.
