Acantilados de Los Gigantes, Volcanic cliffs in western Tenerife, Spain.
The Acantilados de Los Gigantes form a striking geological formation of basalt walls reaching heights of 500 meters above the Atlantic Ocean.
During the pre-Spanish period, the indigenous Guanche people named these cliffs 'Wall of Hell', considering them the boundary of their known world.
The dark vertical walls and solidified lava columns of Los Gigantes represent a natural monument that shapes the identity of western Tenerife.
Visitors can observe the cliffs through boat tours departing from Los Gigantes marina, offering opportunities to spot dolphins and tropical pilot whales.
The marine depths near the cliffs house black coral formations and calcified algae in waters reaching only 30 meters deep.
