CASCADA DE COLORES (Caldera de Taburiente)

You can find this place when you go deep into the ravine of the Caldera de Taburiente. This place is special to me because it is unusual to find a place with these characteristics, a very quiet place, very colorful and offers unique views. The first time I visited this place I was 2 years old, I barely remember that moment but once I saw the photos of the memory I loved it. For several years, I try to visit this place every summer with a group of friends, we spent the day hiking to finish the route enjoying this beautiful waterfall. If you ever have the opportunity to visit this place, don't think about it, you won't regret it. I hope you liked one of my favorite places and that you visit it soon.

A haven of peace: Punta de Teno

Let me introduce you to one of the places in Tenerife I find most astonishing: Punta de Teno. It is the westernmost part on the island, a remote place surrounded by huge cliffs. These circumstances have contributed to the preservation of such an environmental asset.

Whenever I drive there, the journey along the amazing cliffs is awesome. What is more, getting there by boat with friends by the coastline from the port of Los Gigantes is such a unique experience.

Walking on reddish volcanic rocks towards the idyllic lighthouse, so well preserved, swimming in its incredibly blue waters, or the breath-taking sunset will live forever on my mind.

Where can I swim with a clean sea and incredible views of Teide?

 

 

This place that I'm going to tell you about belongs to a town in the north of the island of Tenerife, specifically in La Guancha.

This place on the coast of La Guancha is called Charco del Viento.

This area was formerly unknown due to but has become famous for social networks. For me it is a special place because here I learned to swim and it is where I spend every summer day with my friends. It is wonderful to be able to observe the clarity of the water and many fish. I am very proud to show you this place that is so important to me as it has made my town a little better known. Throughout the year this place is visited by tourists.

The advantages that I find in this place are: the crystal clear water, the views of Mount Teide, how big it is and because it is a meeting point for young people in summer.

The disadvantages that I find are: the difficulty of parking in summer and the road. If you like fishing and diving, I am sure you will love visiting the Charco del Viento. Go ahead and come!

Don't forget about the garbage and watch out for the road.

The mysteries of Gorge´s king

Would you be able walk about a gorge and cross over a suspension bridge?

I have been able to visit it and many other people since 1921, when the King Alfonso XIII inaugurated the Guadalhorce-Guadalteba reservoirs. Since then, it began to be called Caminito del Rey.

The path is in Álora, an Andalusian town located in the south of Spain, where my mother grew up. For this reason, it is so special for me, because I spent summers in the El Chorro reservoir with my maternal family. Also, because El Caminito del Rey is gorgeous for the contrast between the cliff and the turquoise water. In addition, you can even see fossil remains from when the water level was higher.

What do you think? Would you dare to visit it now or do you have vertigo?

The mysteries of Gorge´s king

Would you be able walk about a gorge and cross over a suspension bridge?

I have been able to visit it and many other people since 1921, when the King Alfonso XIII inaugurated the Guadalhorce-Guadalteba reservoirs. Since then, it began to be called Caminito del Rey.

It is a 3 km long pedestrian crossing with a maximum width of just one meter, which, at some points, reaches a height of 100 meters above the reservoir, with turquoise waters. In addition, next to it there is a swamp called El Chorro.

In the 1990s it was in a sorry state but its dangerousness made it more famous. This led to numerous accidents, some fatal, and increased his black legend. The rehabilitated path was opened to the public in 2015 and Lonely Planet named it one of the best places to visit the same year.

The path began next to the railroad tracks and ran through the Gaitanes gorge, in Álora, an Andalusian town located in the south of Spain, where my mother grew up. For this reason it is so special for me, because I spent summers in the El Chorro reservoir with my maternal family, but without bathing, just getting our feet wet from the areas of quicksand in the water and from the stories of sea monsters, since it has a great depth and researchers are said to have found sea monsters. Also, because El Caminito del Rey is gorgeous for the contrast between the cliff and the turquoise water. In addition, you can even see fossil remains from when the water level was higher.
