Summary:
Sencillo barranco, salvo el 4º rápel, seco, con una primera parte más interesante (hasta el 4º rápel) y una segunda parte, de mucha zona de andar, que se puede evitar y así realizarlo con un solo vehículo. De esta manera podríamos combinarlo en el día con San Joaquín haciendo sus partes más deportivas
Simple canyon, except for the 4th rappel, dry, with a more interesting first part (up to the 4th rappel) and a second part, with a lot of walking, which can be avoided and thus be done with only one vehicle. In this way we could combine it in the day with San Joaquín doing its sportier parts.

Short version is described here, but the lower part is a very scenic-volcanic hike, with caves that may have been inhabited by the Guanches. It would be a shame to miss it. We continued until shortly before the highway, exited right to the secondary road + 5min of crosscountry to the highway exit and tunnel, which takes us back to the car at Cafeteria Los Roques (3-4hr) continuing to the beach would also be an option.
