Los Chochos Pool

A nice pool of salt water

You can't miss this magical corner of the municipality of Los Silos. Volcanic eruptions have created whimsical shapes, giving rise to a beautiful pool of salt water where you can swim and enjoy a very special environment. The Los Chochos pool, located next to Charco de La Araña, has a depth of about two meters at its deepest part and has a stone staircase with a handrail that facilitates access. It is suitable for families with children and is available for swimming all year round as long as the sea conditions are ideal. From there you will be able to contemplate the La Culata Cliffs and the Teide on clear days. Its name is due to the fact that in this place the farmers used to soak the lupins in salt water to remove the characteristic bitterness of this legume known in the islands under the name of ‘chocho.’"

Sostenibilidad
- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats.
- Do not throw any waste or other objects into the water.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants from the environment.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Do not use soap or gel in the showers.
- Try to use ocean- friendly sun creams.
- Try not to alter the peace of the environment with excessive noise (loud music, yelling, etc.) or activities that might be bothersome, such as ball games.
- Pets are prohibited at many natural pools. Make sure you can take them beforehand.
