4.1 (5)•Ravine Walk•Güímar, South-East Tenerife
Barranco de Badajoz is an informal ravine walk near Güímar with old water infrastructure, dry landscapes and access/safety caveats.
This is not a managed attraction with a ticket desk or predictable facilities. Treat it as an informal ravine area with old irrigation structures, caves/galleries nearby and a landscape that can feel dry or underwhelming if you arrive expecting waterfalls. Keep the visit conservative: check current access, do not enter tunnels or private/closed areas, avoid bad weather and treat local legends as stories rather than planning facts.

Guest review summary
Commonly mentioned by visitors.
People who enjoy Badajoz value the quiet ravine scenery, views, old irrigation traces and unusual atmosphere.
The walk can feel rewarding for visitors who want a raw barranco rather than a polished, signed attraction.
Its Güímar location makes it possible to combine with an east-side route if conditions and access are clear.
Dry conditions can disappoint visitors who expect water, lush scenery or a dramatic canyon experience.
Access, signage and safety are less clear than on managed Tenerife trails.
Tunnels, galleries, loose ground and rain risk make conservative behaviour essential.

Good views, with a hike that felt moderate rather than very easy.

A quiet nature route with old irrigation systems, vegetation and rock formations; the walk itself was the main reward.

A route that was not too complicated, with ravine views and a note to see Chamizo Cave.

The ravine was beautiful, but the visit felt strange and uncomfortable to this reviewer.
Treat the rating as a weak signal
There is far less public feedback here than for Tenerife's major sights, so use the ravine description, current access and your own comfort with informal terrain as the real decision points.

Dry Can Be The Default
Do not build the visit around seeing water. In dry periods the interest is geology, old infrastructure and atmosphere.

Access Beats Curiosity
If a gate, sign or tunnel suggests no entry, turn around. The ravine is not worth trespassing or entering unstable structures.

Not like Barranco del Infierno. Treat it as an informal ravine area and check current local access before visiting.
Some visitors find the walk moderate rather than extreme, but uneven terrain, heat and uncertain access make it unsuitable as a casual stroll.
No. Do not enter tunnels, galleries or closed structures.
Be cautious. Ravines can become dangerous in bad weather; postpone if rain or storms are forecast.
