Roque del Conde
Adeje
Roque del Conde, also known as Roque Ichasagua, is an iconic volcanic formation located between Adeje and Arona, whose flat peak makes it unmistakable on the horizon of southern Tenerife. At 1,001 meters above sea level, the climb is one of the most complete hikes for those seeking a challenging hiking experience rewarded with unparalleled views. From its summit, you can see the entire south of the island, Mount Teide, the Atlantic Ocean, and, on clear days, the silhouettes of La Gomera, El Hierro, and La Palma.
This place holds a rich historical and cultural significance, as Guanche oral tradition links it to Ichasagua, a mencey who resisted the Castilian conquest by taking refuge in this natural fortress. The climb traverses stony paths, slopes covered with Canarian scrub, and old agricultural terraces that recall the rural life of centuries past.
The route is ideal for those looking to combine nature, sport, and history. Although it's not a technical route, it requires good physical fitness, appropriate footwear, and supplies, as there are no shaded areas or water points. Reaching its summit is an experience that connects visitors with the volcanic landscape of the south and the legends that still whisper within its stone walls.

It's a perfect spot for both beginners and those seeking deeper, more surprising spots.
Trekking
Barranco del Infierno
The Barranco del Infierno is one of Tenerife's most popular hiking trails, and with good reason. It is in Adeje, in the south of the island, and combines wild nature, brutal landscapes and a final waterfall that leaves you open-mouthed.
It is a 6.5 km round trip, well marked and with spectacular views of the ravine, cliffs and typical vegetation of the area. It's not too difficult, but it's not a walk along the beach either, so it's best to bring good shoes and water.
Access is limited to 300 people per day, so you'll have to book online before you go. But it's worth it: fresh air, silence, and a total feeling of being in another world... just a few minutes from the tourist centre.
