Bar operator “sells” tunnel tickets illegally Below Tamaimo is a tunnel that leads into the Barranco Seco.

Tunnel hike
Tunnel closure between Cuevas Negras and the Barranco de los Cochinos
As I heard yesterday from hikers, the “water tunnel” between the Cuevas Negras and the Barranco de los Cochinos is now closed.

Tunnel closure – on the Acantilados de Los Gigantes

Adventurous water walk through a tunnel
Note as of November 2021: TUNNEL CLOSURE Today’s walk takes you from Erjos through the Barranco de los Cochinos (pigs’ ravine) to a tunnel. There are many tunnels in the Teno Mountains.

Pure adventure – dark tunnels and breathtaking steep cliffs
Today’s hike through dark tunnels and along the steep cliffs of the southwest coast of Tenerife really seems like a little adventure. A tour that is certainly not suitable for everyone. The walk through the Barranco de Santiago and the Barranco Seco is charming. But it is not only on the narrow cliff path that […]
