The route is well laid out, clean, very easy to walk. I was not impressed. The same landscape as in many other areas. I think the access system is exaggerated, with a limited number of tourists. You arrive in the area and risk not visiting this place and having the impression that you missed something amazing. Too much advertising and too high a price for something ordinary. The explanatory panels are old and some are hard to read. Some explanations for the old aqueducts once built there would also be good. I will definitely not be back! There are more beautiful places on the island.

the natural setting is magnific, the barranco del infierno is such a beautiful canyon. but honestly, you can visit many other barrancos in Tenerife, just by walking the trails up or down on your own, at your pace. Tha'ts at least what for me is interesting. in this barranco you have to: a) book in advance via internet and pay for access b) even provide your name and personal data of all participants (why, actually? hopefully these data is being protected and deleted after use as per gdpr requirement) c) park in the parking area some 500m below the entrance, since the road ends abruptly (you could communicate this in the confirmation e-mail) d) wear a helmet during the whole walk, as a precaution for falling rocks e) enter the trail with other tourists simultaneoulsy, a group of about 15-20 people, you will have to walk faster or slower to find some place on your own and avoid having the sensation of being in a shopping mall f) this can be done only in the morning, since it closes at 1 or 2 pm. I honestly understand some of the reasons (security, number regulation) behind this choice, but any random trail in the beautiful island is a better choice for me, since walking in the hills/mountains cannot be reduced to a packaged format with tight space and time and crowd. Like experiencing being in the nature, but at the same time eliminating all nature out of the experience. not for me (might be perfectly good for others)

Marvelous trail. Real nice nature. Just a pitty a bit too touristic and not so authentic anymore. Also confusing i.r.o. the different rates. I booked as "resident in Adeje (non registered)" and payed upfront 4,5 EUR. In the website they indeed make a distinction between "Resident adult registered in Adeje"(2,5 EUR) and "resident adult in Adeje"(4,5 EUR). At the entrance I had to pay an extra 6,5 EUR as non-resident. It's not about the money, but better avoid confusion.

To start, we cannot comment on the trail because we showed up at our designated time, assessed the situation, then quickly asked for a refund. It was not what we were expecting. We hike regularly, so are comfortable finding trail heads and exploring new venues (We lean heavily on Alltrails). We read that this was a beautiful hike and made the assumption that the combination of having to schedule a time and pay for the hike meant that there would be a steady stream of hikers, but no crowds. What we ran into was the opposite. It felt more like showing up for a very large group event! We arrived ahead of our scheduled time and were asked to wait in a holding area that had at least 40-50 people waiting. Everyone was given mandated helmets to wear. Many people were dressed more for a walk than a hike... some wearing sandals or soft bottomed running shoes. We were told we were waiting "to allow the previous group to make space". Meanwhile, they closed off our holding area and started a new one for others arriving - to wait for us to "make space on the trail" once we were able to leave. We waited 20 minutes, then concluded this is not what we were looking for in a hike. We removed ourselves from the waiting area and asked for a refund, which they gladly gave us. When we left our group was still waiting. I'm sure it is a beautiful hike (there is so much beauty on the island), but we were not looking for a "group experience". We turned to Alltrails, found a glorious (free) hike around Montaña Roja and had a glorious day.

Don’t bother going if you have not made a reservation. Always fully booked. Reception staff, need a lesson in customer service. As resident in Tenerife I will certainly never be going again. Plenty of FREE walks in Tenerife.
