Located on the west coast of Tenerife, the Los Gigantes Cliffs rise as one of the most spectacular natural treasures of the Canary Islands. These colossal volcanic rock walls soar between 300 and 600 meters above sea level, creating an imposing and majestic landscape that takes your breath away.
A unique geological show
Formed millions of years ago by volcanic activity, the cliffs are part of the Teno Rural Park, one of the island’s most pristine and protected areas. The contrast between the vast rocky walls and the deep blue Atlantic creates an almost surreal scene that captivates photographers, hikers, and nature lovers alike.
