This route starts in the neighborhood of Risco de Agaete, the walk is about 30 minutes and at the end of it we will find some waterfalls that flow directly from the top of Tamadaba.
Today’s disappointment: after a two-hour journey to get here, we found a dry valley. Although the river valley is beautiful with its deep canyon, rocky terrain, and tall grass that make for some nice photos, that’s about all there is to see.
From the parking area near the neighborhood, there’s a 20-minute walk, as the entrance is closed to non-locals. If you’re hoping to see a waterfall, you’ll need to wait for heavy rain; otherwise, you’ll just find a small puddle.
Nice hike and waterfall. No hiking footwear necessary, but some kind of trainers would be recommend. You have to park in El Risco (very limited parking spaces) and walk up, it takes roughly 30-40 minutes to hike to the waterfall.
Bring your own water as the store in El Risco is really overpriced.
A short but beautiful hike that we can absolutely recommend. Requires a little bit of climbing and good shoes, but its not hard at all. Just make sure you go to the very end, some people may turn around to early thinking there is no waterfall altough there might be one... We saw it and loved it.
For us the hike was 3,23 km long with approx. 1 hour in motion, starting from the parking lot in town.
