Cliffs of La Isorana

This fabulous coastal area divides the municipalities of Guía de Isora and Adeje, on either side of the mouth of the Erques ravine.

It is three kilometres long and rises to an average height of 30 metres. The vegetation in this hidden paradise consists of small halophilic plants, such as sweet tabaiba, bitter tabaiba and coastal thyme, which grow alongside the torrential river mouths that give rise to small coves and gravel beaches. 

In addition to the natural beauty of the cliffs, visitors can also enjoy breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the south-western coast of Tenerife. There are several viewpoints in the area offering panoramic views of the cliffs and the surrounding landscape. 

It is also possible to walk along the path that runs along the coast and explore the small coves between the cliffs.

Discovered by marine erosion, these cliffs have created a rugged landscape with a multitude of holes in their sharp walls, where coastal birds protected by current legislation, such as the little shearwater and Bulwer’s petrel, nest. 

All this has led to this area being declared a Site of Scientific Interest of great importance for ornithology, so if you are a birdwatcher, this is a must-see spot for you.
