South-facing great canyon with little water flow, but extreme risk of flood waves in the event of sudden rain. The sometimes high rappels with vertical transfers require appropriate technical skills.

South-facing great canyon with little water flow, but extreme risk of flood waves in the event of sudden rain. The sometimes high rappels with vertical transfers require appropriate technical skills.

Access: machine translated ➜

From the airport highway exit, drive 20 km west to Adeje. Here we drive up to the start of the footpath into the Barranco del Infierno and park our lower car in a suitable place nearby. Take the second car up to Ifonche (26.3 km, approx. 50 min.) and park the upper car at the exit of the access road. See: https://goo.gl/photos/NhgTbNNstxjfG8Uv6 (access map)

Approach (35 min): machine translated ➜

Follow the slope downhill a few meters to the south, then take the hiking trail on the right that leads to the entry. See: http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=13452402

Tour (5 h): machine translated ➜

12 rappels in 3 groups connected by longer runs. First in a somewhat incised chute, the second group in the cauldron (transfer left on the edge before the final rappel), the third group starting with the 110 m rappel, which is broken about halfway up via a hanging relay. With a little skill, you can avoid a dip in the pool below. Then the final abseil to the path. Keep as close to the water as possible at the blackberry piton.

Return (50 min): machine translated ➜

On the footpath from the foot of the last waterfall out to Adejo, where you then idR. have to climb over the fence.
