Mirador de Barranco del Infierno
About
Mirador de Barranco del Infierno in Tenerife sits at Diseminado Lomo Higuera, 15, 38615, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a viewpoint on the island. The name points to a balcony over the Barranco del Infierno ravine, and the setting places it among the steep, dry slopes that define this part of Tenerife. Visitors come for the outlook rather than a building, and the spot is reached by road into the hills above the coast.
What the viewpoint is known for is the ravine view itself, and a 4.7 out of 5 from 43 reviews suggests most people leave satisfied with what they see. The nearby places list reads like a tour of the island's main resorts and towns: Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos, Puerto de la Cruz, Santa Cruz, La Laguna, El Médano and Los Gigantes. Each sits at a different point on the coast, so the mirador works as a stop between them. First-time visitors should expect a short walk from wherever they park, with the reward being the panorama rather than facilities.
Opening hours are not part of the details held, so a daytime visit makes sense. No photographs of the viewpoint are displayed, and there is no website listed for it.
Spring and autumn bring warm days with fewer visitors, which suits a viewpoint where the main draw is standing still and looking out. Gofio, a toasted grain flour, turns up in island breads, stews and desserts, so a meal after the visit can include it. The alisios trade winds keep temperatures moderate, though Saharan dust sometimes arrives in a calima and dulls the view. Whales, dolphins and sea turtles live in the surrounding waters, and several islands have protected laurel forests.
