Barranco del Infierno is a deep gorge with latelar slopes, created by water erosion over a seven million years period.

The trail starts at a 350 meters altitude, in the town of Adeje, next to the old mill.
The barranco narrows as we walk through it and its vertical walls seem to close over the visitor's head.
The first part of the trail, in the most low and dry areas, passes through an hillside populated by tabaibas and cardoons.
Higher, when the soil gets damper, willows lay on barranco's riverbed. Species as dragos and sabinas cover the unaccessible slopes, hanging on rocks as expert tightrope walkers, while pinetrees start to appear at distance.
At the end of the trail, there is a majestic 200 meters high waterfall.
