Sin categoríaIf there is one excursion you cannot miss in Tenerife, it is the Barranco del Infierno. Located in the heart of the municipality of Adeje, in the south of the island, this impressive trail is one of the most emblematic Protected Natural Areas in the Canary Islands, featuring a waterfall of almost 200 metres in height that makes it a truly unique and unmissable destination.
At Tenerife Top Tours, we specialise in organising guided excursions to the Barranco del Infierno. We know every corner of this natural space and guarantee you a safe, memorable experience full of moments you will treasure forever.
What is the Barranco del Infierno?
The Barranco del Infierno takes its name from its rugged and wild character. It is a deep natural gorge that forms part of the Special Nature Reserve of Adeje, a protected ecosystem that is home to extraordinary flora and fauna. Situated 350 metres above sea level, it offers spectacular panoramic views across the south of Tenerife and the Atlantic Ocean.
Access to the ravine is restricted and controlled, with a limited number of daily visitors, so it is essential to book in advance to secure your place. This measure protects the natural environment and ensures a quality experience for all visitors.
The Barranco del Infierno Trail: Practical Information
The trail covers a total distance of 6.5 km return, with an approximate duration of 3.5 hours. The route starts from the meeting point in Adeje and gradually ascends through the ravine to the impressive interior waterfall. The difficulty is medium-low, making it accessible to the majority of hikers with a basic level of fitness.
Along the way you will discover unique volcanic rock formations, native subtropical vegetation, natural springs and, as the grand finale, the tallest interior waterfall in Tenerife.
Access Conditions and Rules
To enjoy this excursion safely, a number of essential requirements must be met. Appropriate footwear for rocky terrain is mandatory, as is wearing the helmet provided at the meeting point at all times. Entry is prohibited for children under 5 years of age, and those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Animals are not permitted.
Residents of Tenerife must provide proof of residency with valid documentation to benefit from the special local rate.
