Piscinas Naturales de El Caletón

El Caleton volcanic pools in Tenerife are created by the last eruption of the Trevejo volcano back in 1706. It buried a lot of the Garachico town and as the lava reached the sea it formed these natural swimming pools, which are now one of the must-sees in Tenerife. The arm of the sea known as El Caletón was capriciously formed, with its different "puddles" Las Viejas, Los Niños, Los Chorros. The natural swimming pools of Garachico are one of the safest natural pools in Tenerife for swimming and even jumping off the rocks because the water is quite calm and there is a good overview of the area.
