Northern Tenerife
La Barranquera Archaeological Zone
A protected coastal archaeological landscape in Valle de Guerra with evidence of Guanche use of caves, cliffs and shoreline resources.
History & background
La Barranquera is an archaeological zone on the north coast of Tenerife where coastal terrain, caves and human activity intersect. Sites like this help broaden the picture of Guanche life beyond the better-known inland caves.
The area’s value comes from the relationship between settlement evidence and the sea, which provided food, movement routes and distinctive ecological resources.
Visitor information
Respect archaeological protection measures and coastal safety. Do not enter unstable caves or cross restricted areas.
