Barranco del Infierno

Adeje

If you feel like getting out of the sun and beach and seeing another side of Tenerife, the Barranco del Infierno is a brutal experience. It's in Adeje, in the south of the island, very close to the tourist area, but when you enter the path, you feel like you've stepped into another world: pure nature, silence and wild landscapes.

It's a route of about 6.5 kilometres in total (outward and return), with a gentle slope and a good path, so you don't need to be a hiking pro. With comfortable shoes, water and a willingness to walk, you'll be fine. Of course, there are parts with some shade, but also many areas in the sun, so it's best to bring protection and leave early, especially if it's hot.

The most spectacular thing is not only the surroundings - with huge rock walls, typical canyon vegetation and incredible views - but at the end you'll find a 200-metre waterfall which, on a dry volcanic island like Tenerife, feels almost magical. Swimming is not allowed, but it's totally worth it just to see it and hear the water cascading down.

All in all, it will take you between 2 and 3 hours, depending on your pace and how much you stop to take pictures (which will surely be a lot, because the place is photogenic as can be).

Where to eat

Dulceria Hermano Pedro

If you're passing through Vilaflor and craving something truly sweet, this is one of those places you absolutely have to stop. At Dulcería Hermano Pedro, you'll find homemade pastries, freshly baked and bursting with traditional flavor. You can sit down for a coffee and a slice of cake or simply take some local sweets to go. It's a friendly, village-style place where the service and the quality of the products go hand in hand.

What to see

Pino Gordo

Standing before the Pino Gordo in Vilaflor de Chasna is truly awe-inspiring. It's not just big: it's colossal. Standing over 45 meters tall with a trunk so wide it takes several people to encircle it, this Canary Island pine conveys an almost tangible sense of age and resilience. Looking up at it is dizzying and makes you feel small before one of Tenerife's great natural giants.

Activities

Tunolandia Canarias

This is a distinctive plan on the island of Tenerife across all the playa and hotels, Tunolandia is one of these curiosities that are so popular. In the Valle de San Lorenzo, this space consists of a variety of tuneras, gastronomy, tradition and products based on high pico. Aquí puedes pasear entre cactus gigantes, probar mermeladas, licores o mojo de tuno y descubrir una cara mucho más rural y diferente del sur de la isla.

Beaches

Playa de los Cristianos Puerto

Los Cristianos Beach, next to the port of the same name, is one of the most iconic beaches in southern Tenerife. Protected from the waves by the pier, it offers calm waters and golden sand, perfect for swimming and strolling. From the shore, you can observe the activity of the fishing port and the departure of ferries to La Gomera, combining a local atmosphere with the maritime charm of a traditional coastal town.

Nightlife

Sunset Cafe

Sunset Cafe is one of those places where the name perfectly describes what you come to do: sit facing the sea and watch the sun set over Las Vistas Beach with a drink in hand. The terrace is practically on the promenade, so you have the ocean right in front of you throughout the entire experience. The atmosphere is relaxed, very social, and perfect for lingering into the afternoon with cocktails, soft music, and one of the best views in Los Cristianos.

Shopping

Dulcería Vilaflor

If you want to try truly traditional sweets from our island and you're in Vilaflor, this is the place to stop. At Dulcería Vilaflor, you'll find time-honored recipes, made by hand with natural ingredients. Almond cakes, rosquetes (ring-shaped pastries), and mantecados (shortbread cookies) with that old-fashioned flavor that's hard to find these days. It's a simple, village-style place where you can buy, taste, and quickly understand why they've been in business for so many years.

Sports

Parque de Calistenia

The Calistenia Park of Vilaflor also has many sports areas in Tenerife that can be used for: climbing the mountains and clear air at more than 1,400 meters in altitude. The installation is very easy, with the basics for a good routine of street workout, but the verdadero is attractive in the exercise. Aquí entrenas entre pinares y tranquilidad absolutea, en uno de los pueblos más altos de España y muy lejos del ambience urbano habitualo.

Trekking

Montaña Tejina

If you enjoy less crowded hiking in southern Tenerife, this circular route around Montaña de Tejina is a very complete option. You'll walk approximately 13 km around this large volcanic crag, over a thousand meters high, which was a sacred site and key center of social interaction for the Guanches. The route passes through ravines, ancient threshing floors, small hermitages, and traditional agricultural remains. There's hardly any shade, but in return, you'll have open panoramic views for much of the way and a constant sense of a rural, volcanic, and mystical landscape.
