El Caletón in Garachico
One of the most beautiful natural swimming pools in Tenerife is El Caletón which is located in the beautiful Canarian village of Garachico. These volcanic pools in Tenerife are created by the last eruption of the Trevejo volcano back in 1700. 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.
One of the safest natural pools in Tenerife
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.
What to do in Garachico
Not only should you pay a visit to Garachico because of the “El Caletón” natural pools, but you’ll also be able to see a part of one of the most beautiful historic centers of Tenerife. In this lovely village, you can find shops and nearby restaurants which are mostly specialized in seafood. Also in Garachico, you can find the cliffs of La Culata. La Culata is an authentic fossil marine cliff in which natural and rural elements are mixed. You can visit Garachico during the popular Teide Masca bus tour.

I’ve been here with my wife and son and it was fantastic. It’s definitely one of the most beautiful natural swimming pools in Tenerife. My son wanted to jump in the water, so he was able to do so here and he loved it. Thank you very much for this article!
Garachico is een erg leuke plek om te bezoeken
Beautiful nature pool, Garachico is definitely a must visit!
Club Canary’s article on the natural pools of El Caletón in Tenerife immediately caught my attention and sparked a strong desire to swim in these gorgeous natural pools. The article made me want to visit the village of Garachico as well. Therefore, once I got to Tenerife, I made a quick trip to Garachico with my girlfriend. We were doubly surprised when we arrived in this village. Firstly, the road and landscapes before arriving in Garachico are extraordinary. The cliffs surrounding the village are truly impressive, Garachico’s streets are so charming, and the crystal-clear waters of the natural pools are just as fascinating. Originally, we were just looking for some information about the natural pools of Tenerife, but thanks to this article, we discovered not only the natural pools of El Caletón, but also a charming village and its surroundings. Thank you to Club Canary for this article and the valuable information shared.
