Barranco de Masca Walk - Tenerife

After booking your return boat trip from above the harbour, take the taxi from Los Gigantes to Masca, at the start of the walk. After 3.5 hours, reach the sea, have a swim then return on the boat to the start - fabulous.
We found trainers were fine and don't forget your camera, water, something to eat and your costume and towel if you fancy a bathe off the jetty at the other end. There is no cafe or shop after leaving Masca.
As we were photographing and filming all the way down, it actually took us 4 hours, but this was pretty casual.
i submitted this video to give you a look at the typical terrain before leaving.
Go and enjoy.

Nicely described in the video, now water is scarce and the greening of the canyon less, 9 months without rain

I walked this on my own and returned the same way. A wonderful place. I'll return to this to remind me. Thank you.Walking places like this puts all life in perspective.
