Barranco del Infierno is undoubtedly the main reason thousands of visitors come to Adeje each year, but this municipality in the south of Tenerife has much more to offer. After completing the trail and reaching the waterfall, the experience in Adeje can continue with spectacular beaches, quality local cuisine and a variety of activities perfect for rounding off the day.<\/p>\n
After the effort of the route, your body deserves a reward. Adeje offers a wide variety of dining options, from traditional Canarian cuisine restaurants to international establishments.<\/p>\n
For an authentic local food experience, look for restaurants offering typical Canarian dishes: papas arrugadas with mojo<\/strong>, gofio, caldo de berros (watercress broth) or fresh fish from the coast. The old town of Adeje, near the church of Santa Ursula, has several traditional cuisine establishments with reasonable prices.<\/p>\n A few kilometres from the ravine lies the Costa Adeje tourist area, where you’ll find a wide range of seafront restaurants. La Caleta de Ad\u00e1n is especially recommended for its relaxed atmosphere and fresh fish, perfect after a morning of hiking.<\/p>\n After walking the trail, few things are more appealing than a swim in the Atlantic. Adeje and its surroundings have some of the best beaches in South Tenerife:<\/p>\n These two dark sand beaches with calm waters are ideal for family swimming. They are well-equipped with services, sun loungers and beach restaurants. Just 15 minutes by car from the ravine.<\/p>\n With lighter sand and a lively promenade, these beaches are the heart of Costa Adeje. Perfect for an evening stroll after the excursion, with shops, bars and ice cream stands.<\/p>\n Just a short distance from the ravine entrance lies the charming Adeje old town. It is worth strolling through its streets, visiting the church of Santa Ursula<\/strong> (16th century) and discovering the Casa Fuerte, a defensive tower dating from the Spanish conquest. This historical context adds a further dimension to a visit to the ravine, which is also rich in Guanche history.<\/p>\n Located in the heights of Adeje, this viewpoint offers impressive panoramic views of South Tenerife. It’s an ideal spot to photograph the landscape at the end of the day, with the golden sunset light illuminating the ravines and coastline.<\/p>\n For those looking to extend an active day, Adeje and Costa Adeje offer a wide variety of options. Water sports<\/strong> (surfing, paddleboarding, snorkelling) are very popular in the area. Spas and wellness centres at Costa Adeje luxury hotels can be the perfect way to recover after the hiking effort.<\/p>\n The perfect combination to make the most of Adeje in a single day: in the morning<\/strong>, arrive at Barranco del Infierno at opening time (8:00 am) and complete the route to the waterfall. At midday<\/strong>, refuel at one of the traditional Canarian cuisine restaurants in the old town. In the afternoon<\/strong>, take a swim at one of the Costa Adeje beaches and end the day with a stroll along the promenade. A perfect day in one of the most complete destinations in South Tenerife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adeje: much more than a hiking trail Barranco del Infierno is undoubtedly the main reason thousands of visitors come to Adeje each year, but this municipality in the south of Tenerife has much more to offer.
