The experience of hiking in the Barranco del Infierno…

The trail invites you to step inside, to begin a journey from a natural balcony 350 metres above sea level, a heavenly platform from which you can glimpse the splendour of the south of the island. From here, adventure beckons, with the murmur of the breezes and the whisper of the ravine that seems to say: “Come, explore”.

The journey takes approximately three and a half hours, a tale written in the language of the earth and the wind. With each step you take along its 6,500-metre path, the story of the Barranco del Infierno reveals itself, showing you its secrets, its curves and its crevices, each one a poem carved into the rock.

The trail challenges you, with its slippery and rocky terrain. But I assure you, it’s worth the effort. Be sure to wear proper footwear, and let your feet guide you, step by step, through this earthly paradise.

Every blade of grass, every rock, every bend in the road, seems to be inhabited by one of the 456 species that call this place home. Here, in this protected paradise, nature takes its course, indifferent to the passage of time.

So, adventurer, I invite you to explore the Barranco del Infierno. Come, feel the call of the trail, listen to the whisper of the earth and let yourself be carried away by the song of the wind. Unforgettable views and an experience that will be etched in your heart forever await you.
