Los Gigantes

It is worth a note that Los Gigantes isn't just a name, it means 'The Giants', and one look at the gigantic sea cliffs that rise as high as 800 meters above the Atlantic will give you reason to appreciate the name. Overlooking one of the most interesting, breathtaking cliffs in the west of Tenerife, Los Gigantes is one of the most beautiful views found in nature, and the biggest gem of the Canary Islands, given how it rises straight up from the ocean. The water here is also extremely clear, making it the perfect destination for watching both dolphins and whales, as well as many other water tours or kayaking, or even to just plunge into the ocean. It is certain that you will not forget that swim.
