Acantilados de Los Gigantes - Tenerife

The cliffs of Los Gigantes are characterized by its vertical walls between 300 and 600 meters high.

In Guanche times they were known as the 'Wall of Hell' or 'Devil's Wall', and one could imagine them as such, as their dark lava geography is virtually impenetrable towards the interior of the island. Only certain ravines , such as Carrizales, Juan López, El Natero, Barranco Seco, etc. cut their way through the cliffs, leaving at the mouth coves or small beaches of natural sand or gravel, which are frequented by pleasure boats.

Below sea level these cliffs do not extend further into depth . The seabed in this area is only about 30 meters deep and due to difficult access it is home to a natural wealth that attracts countless divers and fishermen.

Whether you reach them by boat or climb on foot, these cliffs always offer breathtaking views.
