The Barranco Del Infierno (Hell's Gorge) is a ravine located in the town of Adeje in the south of the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain). A popular hiking trail leads through the ravine to the highest waterfall on Tenerife. Access to the gorge is controlled by a limitation on the number of daily visitors (actually 200 per day). The area is very important archaeologically, since there are hundreds of caves that were home...
Masca is a small mountain village on the island of Tenerife. The village is home to around 80 inhabitants. The village lies at an altitude of 600 m in the Teno mountains, which extend up to the northwesternmost point of Tenerife.High mountains surround the tiny village and there is a small peak near the village centre. Forests including cypresses and palm trees abound. The rocks and forests and a slope of about...
DO NOT underestimate the short distance of r.a. 0.2 miles and 17min. for climbing down to the Wailua Falls. You need a bit stamina as most of the trail is more kinda climbing than hiking, but it´s definitely worth a try.The falls are absolute spectecular from down below.Especially when it´s raining (which makes the trail even harder), you can see double rainbows appearing, which is sooooo amazing :)Unfortunately all my photos are...
These falls are a pretty much hidden kinda waterfall terrace.They are located in the Lihue-Koloa Forest Reserve and part of the numerous Waialeale Falls (Wai'ale'ale = "ripling waters").The hike is pretty easy, even if muddy, you´ll find the way without gps-device.I met some guys there, who used their body boards for using on one of those small rivers. There´s a rivertube which leads directly to the Waialeale Falls and as those guys told me,...
Usually the falls are mostly seen from the viewpoint at Kuamoo Rd, but if you wanna get very close to the head of the fall, there´s a small distance hidden track, which has been covered by a fence and lots of branches.Coming from Wailua, just drive the Kuamoo Rd, pass the viewpoint and after 0.3 miles, there´s a small stop on the right side of the road. You can park your car here, but let me...
We booked a Lava Tour at Big Island Outfitters with Chris Arruda, one very handsome, nice guy...kinda surfer dude;)We started very early in the morning at 3:45am and met Chris at a small church along the Chain Of Craters Road. At first he told us something about Hawaiis history, about the Lava field and his friends, whose houses have been destroyed by all the lava attacks.The tour itself took r.a. 4-5 hours, depending on your...
After walking the 1.4 mile trail to the Manoa Falls, you´ll see the head of the Aihualama trail left hand side. At first it´ll be a little bit steep, you need to climb up some smaller rocks. The trail is moderate and straight forward through bamboo and beautiful rainforests and leads you to the top of Mt. Tantalus, with a spectacular view of the surrounding landscapes.Sometimes there´s a lot of mud and I did see...
The 1.6 mile hike to Manoa Falls (and back) is moderate and straight forward through bamboo and beautiful rainforests. Sometimes there´s a lot of mud and I did see quite a few tourists with fliplops and children, walking this famous trail.The trail connects at its end to the Aihualama Trail which leads directly to the top of Mt. Tantalus (see my other trails).Directions (http://www.world-of-waterfalls.com/hawaii-manoa-falls.html)From the Honolulu/Waikiki area, travel north on University Avenue...
The bottom 80ft drop of this 1100ft waterfall was once accessible along a trail leading to a swimming pool at the base of the falls where the last 80ft of the falls could be seen. Unfortunately, a landslide at the terminus of the trail that killed several people and injured many others on Mother's Day in 1999 pretty much resulted in law suits that forced the state to close access to this...
