Siam Park

Siam Park is Europe’s biggest water park, but if you were to name it a water park, it would be an understatement! Dubbed `The Water Kingdom`, Siam Park has a Thai theme and a huge selection of water slides, bars and restaurants- something for the whole family. You can choose to swirl into the mouth of a giant dragon amongst your friends in a raft, or if you are brave enough, take the 28 metres plunge down the Tower of Power which takes you soaring through an underwater aquarium... watch out for the sharks! You can also catch the waves at the Wave Palace, which generates the world's biggest artificial waves, up to 3 metres high. If you need to take a breather, why not relax on Siam beach; or float away down the Mai Thai River? By now you must be working up an appetite! Siam Park has a range of traditional international restaurants as well as their signature Thai cuisine. If you are too busy to stop for a meal, the Traditional Thai Floating Market has plenty of snacks to satisfy your cravings before you ride the Jungle Snakes!

Barranco del Infierno walk

The Barranco del Infierno is one of the main natural highlights of Adeje. It was previously used by goatherders and workers who were in charge of the water irrigation channels. It is recommended to book early because the walks are limited to only 220 visitors per day. The walk starts at the end of Calle El Molino, which has a good view point to the left where you can admire the intersection of Barranco del Infierno. You will see an old church and some traditional bee hives at the beginning of your walk. Across a small brick aqueduct is Acequia Larga (long irrigation channel). When you reach the height of 455m (approx. 2 km) you will reach Cuevas del Marqués (the Marquis caves). As you enter the greener part of the ravine you will see La Cogedera, the final part of the excursion. Here the climate becomes very humid and you will see the wild vegetation of willow groves and chestnut trees, which have created a natural tunnel safe enough to pass under. As you come to the end of the walk you are greeted by the main feature of Barranco del Infierno- `The Cascade` waterfall which has heights of 560m. If you are doing the walk during the winter months you will catch The Cascade at its strongest flowing point, whereas in the summer months it is less powerful. During the walk you will experience the beauty of the natural flora and fauna of Adeje in all its glory. The Barranco del Infierno walk allows you to enjoy a refreshing change and the chance to take in Adeje’s valleys and mountains away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby cities. During the walk you can also see the caves where the mummies of The Guanches were discovered.
