Good strong shoes or boots are required and at least a litre of water. The water may be provided check the tours program. This tour is subject to weather conditions. Strong winds, sea state and/or rain can cancell the trip.
Hells Ravine (Barranco del Infierno)The main natural attraction of Adeje is the nearby Barranco del Infierno, Hells Ravine, the deepest gorge in not only in Tenerife but the Canary Islands. The very impressive steep sides of the deep Hell's gorge Barranco del Infierno can be reached by a trail from Adeje. Allow around 2.5 to 4 hours for a return hike of 6.5 kilometres. Strong footwear suitable for wet & slippery rocks and additional clothing advised. flip flops & sandles are not allowed. The route is obvious because the path has been tended and a little too manicured for a true mountain walker. There is a small 80 metre high waterfall in the upper reaches of the ravine, with amazing views to be seen, over the entire land. Note how the vegetation changes as you ascend up the Barranco del Infierno from rather barren landscape to one of lush vegetation at higher altitudes. At least a litre of water is required because the ravine is a sun trap, and i suggest something for a snack or a bar of chocolate. Keep some in case of emergency. The best time to do the walk is in the morning before the sun becommes too strong or later on a heavy overcast day. The ravine may be closed during and after rainfalls because of the danger of rock falls. It is possible that provided Hard hats have to be worn in the higher reaches. They will inform you at the pay / information desk at the entrance. A charge is made and only 220 people are allowed into the gorge so it is advisable to book in advance & also check if the walk is open. please call one day before to book 922 782885. The phone is often very engaged. The best time to do it it’s after 14:00 Website the official website had lapsed last time I checked. BusYou want to be as high uphill as you can get in the Town of Adeje. These vary with the routes Routes: Line 416: GRANADILLA > ADEJE(LOS OLIVOS) Stop PI REDONDA on the calle Castillo Then it's uphill between the Casa Fuerte and Canon, near the church, Iglesia de Santa Ursula . Look out for signposts Icod de los Vinos
Picturesque town famous for it's Dragon Tree, El Drago, church, vineyards, wines, Canarian woodwork and wooden balconies More information and photographs of Icod de los Vinos La Gomera
Enjoy a boat trip or Ferry ride to the island of Gomera. Ferries from Los Cristianos, boat trips from most of the west Tenerife harbours.
Wales and Dolphins Boat Trips From most HarboursPlenty of boat trips from the harbours of Tenerife take you to see the wales and dolphins often riding the boats bow wave. Many boat trips include food and drinks, and some will provide a free bus service to the harbour. Don't forget your camera, sun screen lotion and swim costume. Also remember that the Canary Islands are 200 miles out into the Alantic Ocean and even on a calm day there can be a large Ocean Swell which can be very noticable on a boat with plenty of rocking. The taking of Travel Sickness tablets could vastly improve your enjoyment on these boat trips. Remember that most of them have to be taken 2 hours before the trip read the label or get the phamacist to tell you how to take them if instuctions are in Spanish.
