    The small town of El Risco lies between the mountains and the sea in the west of Gran Canaria at around 150 meters above sea level, surrounded by impressive rock massifs. El Risco is home to 300 residents and has a shop and a bar. There is a bus connection to Las Palmas. The natural stone bay Playa el Risco is ideal for swimming and fishing, but can only be reached on foot or by off-road vehicle. About 2 kilometers from El Risco is Playa de Guayedra, an almost 100 meter long dark pebble beach that is one of the rare bathing opportunities in the northwest.

      At the bottom of the thoroughfare there's a small car park, then go up the stairs to the left at the (recommended) bar and continue up through the village. After a few hundred meters you will find the start of the hike to the waterfalls.
