| Barranco de las Angustias | Deze pagina in Nederlands |
The Barranco de las Angustias gives access to the Caldera de Taburiente. The road runs from Los Llanos up through Los Barros and descends past the information hut down into the bottom of the barranco (gorge) to a car park.
From the car park you can walk into the Caldera or take a taxi-jeep up to Los Brecitos where it is a 7 hour walk back down to the car park. |
 |
This hut serves not only as an information point but also as a control point. During and after rainfall the Caldera may be closed to all visitors, both vehicular and foot. |

 |
The steep and twisting road down to the car park was asphalted in 2006/2007. |

 |
The road from the car park to Las Brecitos is only open to the authorised taxi-busses and local farmers. |

The Barranco may contain water in the winter months. |

The first part of the walk into the Caldera is quite easy, then it becomes more difficult when walking through and over the rocks in the bottom of the gorge. |

Almost vertical walls of intrusive lava can cleayl be seen in the rock walls. |

The flat area in the bottom of the Barranco de las Angustias serves as a car park. |

The road from Tazacorte and Los Llanos to Tijarafe and Puntagorda criss-crosses the steep cliff face above the church several times before reaching the top at Mirador del Time. |

A storm above the Caldera de Taburiente can cause the river bed to turn into a raging torrent. |
