The wind takes shape before you do — a warm column of air lifting the glint of the Atlantic as the launch crew checks lines and harnesses in Costa Adeje. Within minutes the valley opens beneath your feet: terraced farms give way to the burned-orange ravines of Barranco del Infierno, where sunlit rock faces like Abinque and Los Brezos drop into green gullies.

The wind takes shape before you do — a warm column of air lifting the glint of the Atlantic as the launch crew checks lines and harnesses in Costa Adeje. Within minutes the valley opens beneath your feet: terraced farms give way to the burned-orange ravines of Barranco del Infierno, where sunlit rock faces like Abinque and Los Brezos drop into green gullies.
Tenerife’s dramatic terrain is volcanic in origin; the island’s uplifted lava and later erosion carved the steep barrancos that define the south coast. Barranco del Infierno is a protected reserve with cultural traces from the island’s original Guanche inhabitants and a geology that reveals layers of basalt and tuff worn into cliffs and pinnacles.
On this premium tandem flight pilots use daytime thermals to cross the Adeje valley, trace the ridgelines, and glide over Costa Adeje before touching down on La Enramada beach. The ocean below has its own pull — whitecaps and seabirds skating the breeze — and the landing on sand finishes the sequence with a sudden hush.
Practical essentials: the total outing runs about two hours with ~40 minutes airborne; hotel pickup from central Adeje is usually included. This activity is physically easy but not suitable for pregnant travelers or people with serious spinal issues, and anyone prone to motion sickness should reconsider. Dress in layers, secure loose items, bring sunglasses and a camera with a wrist strap, and follow your pilot’s safety briefing closely. Respect the reserve rules, minimize noise near nesting areas, and arrive with identification and any weight/medical details the operator requests.
