Description

Context The Barranco del Infierno, located in Costa Adeje, is a designated Special Natural Reserve protecting a 6.5- to 7.2-kilometer canyon with vertical rock walls reaching up to 200 meters in height. The area features a unique ecological transition from semi-arid desert to ancient woodland, supporting native flora and fauna such as the common kestrel and the Tenerife dove. The wind carries the dry scent of thyme and pine, characteristic of this dramatic landscape. The route is regulated with limited capacity to preserve the environment and ensure visitor safety.

The Experience The tour begins with a minivan transfer from Costa Adeje to the official entrance, where all participants receive a mandatory safety helmet. You’ll walk along rocky trails and wooden walkways crossing the canyon, enjoying the calming sound of a waterfall echoing in the distance. Afterward, you’ll visit the historic village of Adeje, known for its traditional Canarian architecture and the Church of Santa Úrsula, before enjoying a full meal featuring authentic Tenerife cuisine that highlights local flavors and aromas.

For Whom This tour suits individuals with moderate physical fitness, families with children over five years old, and nature or culture enthusiasts. It is not recommended for those with limited mobility, vertigo, or severe allergies to local plant life.

Local Context Adeje preserves a rich historical heritage reflecting traditional Canarian life, visible in its cobbled streets and centuries-old buildings. The local community continues to honor its culinary traditions, which you’ll experience firsthand after the walk—creating a meaningful connection between nature, culture, and daily life on Tenerife.
