As a visitable attraction, B.D.I. gets four stars from me. The gentlemen that manned the station had more interest in the money/administration than on the customer experience; it was all a bit quick and matter-of-fact... But still, don't let that put you off if you fancy braving the temperatures and, hopefully, get to the see the waterfall at the end. The potential for rock falls is quite real, as are the trip hazards. You get fitted with a hard hat (very stylish) and you have to wear closed-toed shoes (boots, trainers..w/ever). You also have responsibility for carrying all the water you think you'll need. The round trip is touted as being about three and a half hours. If that lot sounds a bit daunting, please know that 47 year old me ran to (very nearly, but more on that later) the waterfall and back to point six (route marker) where I met up with my friend, in 45 minutes. I used a total of 250ml of water and are four pieces of fresh melon. Okay, I realise I'm a bit odd and you should go at your own pace / fitness level... And the reason I did not get to see the waterfall? The end area was designated too dangerous for visitors due to rock slippage! Gutted! Especially as I ran there and got within 400 meters of the end goal. Still, these things happen. Go have fun. And remember, it's not called Barranco Del Infierno for nothing 😁😎😁

This was a great experience and I would recommend to anyone who likes a hike, stunning views and nature. It's a good 3 hour trail in total, there are some intense steos to climb at parts but the waterfall stop at the end is a stunning view and worth the walk. There is so much to see along the way too. We did an early walk, 9am, and would recommend that time as it is still cool and overcast so easier to do. As we was making it back and it was coming to noon the sun was coming out and it may have been more difficult on a later hike. Either way, I would recommend fitting this into your itinerary on your holiday, we had the rest of the afternoon to find some food in the local town and then head back to the beach to relax our feet after the hike...great day and experience all around. The staff are really helpful and friendly, they give you a safety brief before your hike, and then your free to enter the trail when your ready and go at your own pace. Although you cant stop at certain points on the trail for safety reasons, you dont have to rush it, you can take in the sights and views as you go along. Well worth the price, knowing it all goes back into preserving the trail, staff and maintenance of a beautiful part of the island.

Very insulting and bad attitude from the staff. My friends and I were discriminated against in the most blatant way. They even refused to identify themselves and did not wear identifying clothing. I will report this to the tourism office and the anti-discrimination agency. !!! In response: Dear representatives of Barranco del Infierno, thank you very much for still taking into account my comment and reaction to yesterday's situation. The ugly, simple and extremely rude attitude was not from me, but from your employee. For this I have 3 people who can testify to prove it. I will not allow someone else's behavior to be attributed to me. We arrived late after having problems with our car, which we kindly explained to the gentleman. Here I kindly advise you to re-examine the case, question your employee, instruct him to identify himself and wear the work clothes he is required to wear. Next, I will re-attach the screenshot of your notification that access hours are between 8:00 and 10:30. If not, please pay the company that maintains your budget looking website and make corrections because you are misleading and lying to your customers. The picture remains. It is the only identification we received from your employee. As a European consumer, I have the right to know the name of the person who serves me, so that in such situations I can protect my rights. I advise you to read a little more about consumer rights, however inconvenient and difficult it may be for you. You made several attempts to delete my comment, report it, etc. The same has happened with a number of other comments from people dissatisfied with their experience. That's why you boast a number of "positive comments". Well, now we can already see what their volume is due to. The tone in it again reinforces the attitude towards consumers. Because for some people it can, for others it can't. The discrimination was obvious. When people with Spanish names said they were late - they were let go. When I said we were late they were polite until they saw my name. After we politely asked to wait, the rude tone started from your employee, from whom you clearly do not distinguish yourself.

An incredibly well maintained walk with absolutely no litter to be seen. Book yourself on the first slot out and you'll have a very quiet and serene journey to the waterfall. As the walk progresses the scenery changes. Along the way information signs advise of the habitat and how far to it is the next stop. The terrain varies however, the route is very easy to follow. As the other reviews state it is recommended to book your slot using the official website although spaces may be available on the day. If you're driving into the area a handful of free parking spaces are available on the final approach hill to the park entrance. Parking is available in the local town in paid car parks, it's not expensive. Be prepared and sensible for the walk. Decent walking shoes, suncream and water are a must. The visitor centre require you to complete a waiver for your safety. A helmet is provided to all entrants and must be worn at all times.

Really lovely walk. Don't often get to use the word tranquil to describe Tenerife, but we managed to be inbetween groups and at points had complete silence. We arrived thirty minutes before our pre-booked slot, but that was fine. Everyone goes through a quick safety briefing and you get a basic map. There are 12 points and each has a quick info stand which if nothing else tells you how far you've come, how long to the next info point and to the waterfall. There are points where you shouldn't stick around due to danger of rock falls, which was a bit of a sobering thought, but all was fine for us. Definitely wear sturdy shoes as the path is not smooth, it's quite stony and there's a fair few steps up and down. Would highly recommend going as early as possible as the first bit gets very hot from 11 on. Although we met many people coming against us on the way back, but for me I would have expired!

Overpriced for the service we get. The Barranco itself is nice but I went to way better hikes in barrancos in Tenerife. 11 euros for the entry is a rip off for what you get. The staff in the beginning explain what to do and not to do, give you an helmet for safety and tells you to read the information panels along the way. The condition of the panels are ridiculous, all burnt by the sun and it looks like it's been burnt from a while so no excuses that the sun Burns everything. For that price I paid I was expecting at least to come back and learn something new but what I get instead is a simple walk and just a little bit of water from the waterfall at the end. Don't expect a big waterfall. Save your money and go hike somewhere else. Check the condition of the panels in the photos. The most ruined one, the one that you can't read anything, it's just by the entrance of the trail.
