Rocks and Waterfall of Barranco del Infierno

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Hell's Gorge (Barranco del Infierno) is one of the natural and cultural treasures of Tenerife, the largest of Spain's Canary Islands. Seen in this outstanding drone video by contributor belogaev_art, it's a ravine located near the town of Adeje in the southern part of the island. Access to the gorge, which features both Tenerife's highest waterfall as well as an array of caves which were once inhabited by the indigenous Guanches, is highly restricted - only 300 visitors are allowed daily, all of whom are required to wear helmets.
