Barranco de Guayadeque, Archaeological site in Agüimes, Gran Canaria, Spain.

The Barranco de Guayadeque extends through a deep canyon between Agüimes and Ingenio municipalities, featuring diverse flora with cacti, agaves, and endemic species.

The canyon contains numerous caves that served as dwellings for the Guanches, the original inhabitants of Gran Canaria, with multiple archaeological remains discovered inside.

The Chapel of San Bartolomé Apostol, carved directly into the mountain rock, represents the integration of religious practices within the natural landscape.

The interpretation center opens Tuesday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Sundays from 10 AM to 3 PM, with an entrance fee of 3 euros.

Several restaurants operate from cave formations in the canyon walls, allowing visitors to dine inside natural rock chambers while experiencing local gastronomy.
