Cliffs of Los Gigantes.
Majestic and awe-inspiring, the Cliffs of Los Gigantes rise on the south-western coast of Tenerife as one of the archipelago’s greatest natural treasures. These imposing basalt rock walls, reaching up to 600 metres in height, stretch from the tourist centre that bears their name to Punta de Teno, forming a spectacular vertical landscape that is impressive both from land and sea.
This enclave is not only a landscape icon, but also an area of great ecological value. Its walls are home to endemic species such as the Siempreviva del Guergue (Limonium spectabile) and the Tenerife giant lizard (Gallotia intermedia), as well as providing refuge for a small but important population of ospreys (Pandion haliaetus), a protected species whose presence on this coast reflects the ecological value of the environment.
To enjoy its majesty from the ground, there is nothing like visiting one of the viewpoints and walks that surround the centre of Acantilados de Los Gigantes, such as the Archipenque Viewpoint, the Calle Las Adelfas Viewpoint, or La Hondura Promenade. Boat and kayak trips also depart from the marina, allowing you to view the cliffs from the sea. Another option is to relax on Los Guíos Beach, with the cliffs as a natural backdrop accompanying every moment.
Contemplating the Cliffs of Los Gigantes is an experience that connects you with the power of nature. A unique place in the world.
