Barranco del Infierno

A morning with an alarm clock today as we booked a trip to the Barranco del Infierno.
Not too far from Palm Mar, the town we call our home for this week, is Adeje where the trail starts. The Barranco del Infierno is one of Tenerife’s most popular hikes. A 6km out-and-back-trail takes you deep in a gorge. It’s only open up until 2PM and you have to make a reservation.
We park the car and make our way to the trailhead. It’s a steep climb up the streets of the old Adeje town. We sign some papers and get a helmet. Due to the risk of falling stones a helmet is mandatory and towards the last part of the trail you are not allowed to make stops longer than 5 minutes. At the end of the gorge is a waterfall.
We set off with a bunch of people who booked at the same time slot as us, but the group quickly splits up due to the different fitness levels. There are a lot of beautiful views and the further we go in, the steeper and more impressive it all gets. The waterfall at the end turned out to be more of a water stream than a true waterfall. Nevertheless, it's always nice to walk towards something.

After this nice experience, we went to the general store to buy some meat and vegetables for a nice gourmet at home. To kick off the cosy evening we tested out Ann’s parents second favourite beach bar: Bahaia beach. It’s a fancier bar with again an amazing sunset view yet the cocktails and service is “more normal”. Less liberty with the alcohol proportions.
After a tasty meal on the terrace we go satisfied to bed.Read more
