Access: machine translated ➜

From Tenerife Sur Airport, take exit no. 23 onto the TF 1 highway in the direction of Sta. Cruz de Tenerife (northeast). After 26.5 km on the TF 1, take exit no. 14 (Los Roques/Fasnia) and follow the TF 620 uphill for approx. 100 m in the direction of Fasnia. At the bar/restaurant, park the lower car on the righthand side (away. reduced risk of breakage) and turn right in front of the restaurant towards Barranco, passing another restaurant (left above). At the junction before the next building, turn left up a steep road for about 4 km until you reach the TF 28. Park the top vehicle here by the houses (risk of breakage on the bridge).

Approach (5 min): machine translated ➜

Continue north on the TF 28 for approx. 200 m to the bridge over the Herques. Before the tunnel, turn left down into the Barranco. You can also rope in from the bridge, but you may need more ropes.

Turn right before the highway bridge and follow a dirt road in a SW direction towards the pigsty (dogs only bark!), pass it on the right and continue straight ahead on the road to the lower vehicle.

Abseiling from the bridge is no longer possible (dismantled). Any entrance to the canyon with permit or not should be discrete.
