In this article, we provide you with a list of the most beautiful waterfalls in Gran Canaria<\/strong> so you can plan your itinerary and enjoy an unforgettable holiday in contact with nature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 Waterfalls in Gran Canaria That Will Amaze You <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to travel from October to March<\/strong>, the rainiest season, you will have the chance to admire impressive views of the waterfalls in Gran Canaria formed in the riverbeds of the ravines<\/strong>. In this list, we show you some of the places most visited by tourists who love hiking<\/strong> and contemplating nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Charco Azul<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

El Charco Azul<\/strong> is one of the few waterfalls in Gran Canaria that has water all year round<\/strong>, making it possible to visit regardless of the time of year you choose to travel to the island. This natural corner is located near the village of El Risco<\/strong>, in the municipality of Agaete<\/strong>, and you can get there from Maspalomas in approximately 2 hours by car<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There you can admire the waterfall flowing into the streambed, which carries the water through the ravine. Its water level may vary depending on the rainfall of the season<\/strong>, although you will always be able to see water moving through the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barranco de los Cern\u00edcalos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you enjoy the combination of flora and fauna<\/strong> together with the sight of a beautiful waterfall in Gran Canaria, visit Barranco de los Cern\u00edcalos<\/strong> and admire the variety of native plants and animals that live in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ravine is located in Telde<\/strong> and is suitable for hiking. You just need to be careful with the terrain, as the trails may include slippery rocks<\/strong>. We recommend wearing appropriate footwear<\/strong> and not forgetting to bring water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterfalls are mainly found in the interior of Gran Canaria.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Barranco de Azuaje<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Barranco de Azuaje<\/strong> is located between the municipalities of Firgas<\/strong> and Moya<\/strong>, where you can admire a beautiful watercourse formed among the different waterfalls in the area. While enjoying its lush flora<\/strong>, you can also go hiking and explore the beautiful surroundings of this unique natural landscape<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the streambed of Barranco de Azuaje lies within the area covered by Doramas Natural Park<\/strong>, formerly known as \u201cSelva Doramas\u201d<\/strong> in honour of the warrior of the aboriginal peoples of the Canary Islands. It is home to one of the last remaining examples of laurel forest<\/strong> preserved on the island of Gran Canaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cascada de Soria<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Between the municipalities of Mog\u00e1n<\/strong> and San Bartolom\u00e9 de Tirajana<\/strong> lies Cascada de Soria<\/strong>, also known as Cascada Bonita de Soria<\/strong>. It is one of the waterfalls in Gran Canaria that produces the greatest flow during the rainy season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When rainfall causes the Presa de las Ni\u00f1as<\/strong> reservoir to overflow, a spectacular waterfall is formed, whose flow eventually reaches the Soria reservoir<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barranco del Negro<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the rainy season, the accumulation of water from the summits and mid-altitude areas causes another of Gran Canaria\u2019s waterfalls to form in Barranco del Negro<\/strong>, known for its unique character. This place is well known among those who enjoy canyoning<\/strong>, thanks to the incredible natural beauty of its cliffs and other rock formations. It is ideal for disconnecting from the noise and busy pace of city life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ravine is located in San Bartolom\u00e9 de Tirajana<\/strong>, begins near the village of Tunte<\/strong> and flows down towards Maspalomas<\/strong>. There you can pass through a kind of natural maze formed by rocks and vertical trails<\/strong>, as well as waterfalls and green areas that retain water during dry periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parque Doramas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Parque Doramas<\/strong>, you can enjoy artificial waterfalls that decorate the space, together with fountains, statues and various examples of plants and animals. It is located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria<\/strong> and represents an oasis in the heart of the capital<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palmitos Park<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, there is Palmitos Park<\/strong>, a park located in Maspalomas<\/strong> with beautiful exotic plants, recreational activities and areas for enjoying the natural landscape. Among its attractions are the impressive waterfalls of the Botanical Garden<\/strong>, which have a unique charm for visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, you can observe the animals found there, relax among beautiful gardens with ponds<\/strong>, take part in shows for all audiences and visit the freshwater and saltwater aquarium<\/strong> to admire different species of marine fauna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
