The colorful Cascada de colores in the Caldere de Taburiente
Photo: Hartmut Wimmer, Outdooractive Editors

The colourful waterfall is one of the absolute highlights of the Caldera de Taburiente.

Sulphurous and ferruginous water as well as green algae give the waterfall its colourful hue. The Cascade de Colores can be reached via hiking trails through the Caldera de Taburiente. Along the way, hikers are accompanied by a shimmering golden stream.
