Today’s walk takes you from Erjos through the Barranco de los Cochinos (pigs‘ ravine) to a tunnel. There are many tunnels in the Teno Mountains. And some of them are easy to cross. In the article „Pure adventure“<\/a> I had already described two of these tunnels. Today’s hike takes us through a tunnel again near the Cuevas Negras. But in this tunnel water flows, so that you have to equip yourself accordingly. With waterproof sandals on your feet and a flashlight you will definitely like the adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tunnel – Galerias for water extraction, hazards and crossing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The tunnels were built on the Canary Islands to extract water. Here<\/a> you can find out more about the history of the so-called Galerias. On Tenerife there were already several accidents in these Galerias, because people got accidentally into tunnels, which were not properly ventilated. Very close to the tunnel you can cross on this walk is a sealed tunnel. Unfortunately, six people died in this tunnel (Piedras de los Cochinos Gallery) in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
