Abandoned Excavator Memorial

Highlight • Monument

Maybe it was too difficult or too expensive to remove the heavy machinery after they were finished with the water supply system - anyway, it is very impressive and a unique picture within the jungle-like landscape.

This spectacular tunnel hike through the vertical walls of the Barranco de Badajoz is amazing!

Ventanas de Güímar offered me an unusual adventure today that I had never experienced before. This tour of the Ventanas de Güímar is certainly not for people with a fear of heights, slippery shoe soles or back pain. The views of the steep wall are …

A really impressive route, which is uniquely spectacular not only because of the great views, but also because of the tunnel systems.

A crazy tour. The path is mostly overgrown with undergrowth and the 2km in the tunnels can only be done with a headlamp and anyone over 1.8m tall has to duck through the whole way. An interesting tour and the approach to the parking lot is also exciting with >25% at the end 🥳.

January 15, 2024,Beautiful loop following an old aqueduct from Güímar

I was the first time in Tenerife and I felt in love. So many amazing places to discover! An old aqueduct of Guimar is must see for adventure's lovers! But be careful! It is difficult and challenging hiking and good flashlight is needed and helmet is recommended 😉. If you lost connection with GPS just follow water tubes.

Hike requiring sure footing, a headlamp, and a love of plants and nettles. The passages along the bis are not protected, so do not slip, sure footing essential. Allow 2 hours one way. When you reach the metal and plastic pipes continue straight and do not take the tunnel on the left. It leads to another exit. The canyon that …
