Beautiful walk up the gorge - a perfect hike for families as it’s not too strenuous!
Parking: Entry fee
Barranco del Infierno (Hell's Ravine)
Large, convenient and uncrowded parking lot right next to the starting point of the trail. Trail comfortable and gentle with a few short climbs. Great views of the Atlantic, several small but lovely beaches just off the trail.

La Caleta - El Puertito (le Petit Port)
Costal trail, up and down the hills. We walked through an abandoned banana plantation and a marginalised living area. And finished with a well deserved beer at a bar in El Puertito.

Excellent. It has great views and technical terrain. Not too strenuous
Conditions: Overgrown
