グランカナリア島の湖・トップ20

Great little lake, which is filled by rainwater from the mountains, but also by sea water at high tide and is therefore a special feature for plants and animals

These "pools" are small holes that sometimes contain a little water. There are also frogs here, so these pools are probably not intended for swimming or suitable if you respect nature - even if the name "pool" used here suggests that.

The Charcos Azules of Los Azulejos in Veneguera should not be confused with El Charco Azul de Agaete near El Risco. The water has become rare here due to the dry years. The best chance is in spring. If it has rained for a long time, you can enjoy beautiful scenery here, such as water reflections or a refreshing swim. https://saldelatlantico.com/de/excursiones-en-las-islas-canarias/charcos-azules-azulejos-venegueras

Hotspot of Canarian nature in close tourist proximity

Be sure to wear hiking boots, it's steep and there are lots of loose rocks along the way. But it's worth the climb.

In August there is no water to be seen anywhere. Just a few dried edges in the pools. Not recommended at this time of year...

A very beautiful nature reserve on the edge of the dunes of Maspalomas. It is worth a visit. There is a camel station nearby from which you can walk through the dunes on camelback.

Los Hornos Dam Viewpoint The Los Hornos Dam or Cumbre Dam has a height of 1,565 meters above sea level. It dates from 1933, but was later enlarged. Made of ordinary masonry, it reached a height of 27 m and had a capacity of 697,000 m3 of water, which flows between ditches and tunnels towards the municipalities of Arucas and San Mateo.
