In Tenerife, there is no shortage of ravines
If there is one thing that characterises the island of Tenerife (and the Canary Islands in general), apart from its splendid climate, it is its rugged relief. Mount Teide is the jewel in the crown, but the Anaga, Teno and Adeje massifs and the labyrinth of associated ridges give rise to one of the hallmarks of the territory: the ravines. It was to be expected that canyoning in Tenerife would be all the rage among locals and visitors.
