Barranco de Afur, Natural canyon in Anaga Rural Park, Tenerife, Spain.
The Barranco de Afur extends over 7.3 kilometers from Hoya Fuente los Perros at 976 meters altitude down to Playa del Tamadiste at sea level.
The names Afur and Tamadiste originate from the Guanche language, with Afur meaning kiln or charcoal burner, while Tamadiste refers to a water pond.
The ravine contains the Piedra de los Guanches archaeological site, which provides evidence of mummification practices from the original inhabitants of Tenerife.
Multiple marked hiking trails cross the canyon, including PR TF-8 circular route connecting Afur and Taganana, and PR TF-9 from Las Carboneras to Afur.
This canyon represents one of the few permanent water courses in Tenerife where eels, the only freshwater fish in the Canary Islands, still live.
