Located off the west coast of Tenerife, Acantilados de Los Gigantes or the "Cliffs of the Giants" are a breathtaking and dramatic sight. Rising up to 500 metres in some areas, these towering vertical basalt cliffs are a stunning spectacle. In past times they were known as the Muralla del Infierno (Wall of Hell) by the native Guanche population. Today, it has become a major tourist attraction with its own resort and a black sand beach, along with other resorts like Playa de La Arena and Puerto de Santiago, all within 45 kilometers of the international airport. With its lovely weather and panoramic views, why not come experience this masterpiece of nature for yourself?
