The natural pools of Tenerife are spaces of sea water formed in volcanic rock, ideal for enjoying the sea in peaceful and natural surroundings.
La Caletilla, also known as El Caletón, is a natural pool located in Garachico, in the north of Tenerife. Formed by lava flows following the eruption of the Trevejo volcano in 1706, it offers crystal-clear waters and a unique volcanic environment. This space combines natural beauty with conditioned accesses, making it an ideal place for bathing and contemplating the Atlantic landscape.
Charco del Viento (La Guancha) is one of the best known natural pools in the north of Tenerife, formed between volcanic rocks that create several bathing areas of different depths. Its waters are generally calm, protected from strong waves, allowing you to swim and relax in a natural environment of great beauty. The ease of access and the spectacular coastal scenery that surrounds it make this place a very popular option for visitors and residents alike.
Charco de los Chochos (Los Silos) offers a serene and picturesque place to enjoy the sea, with calm waters that invite bathing and contemplation.
