Cueva la Vaca in Tenerife is one of the many wonderful places that can be found in the Canary Islands with a unique volcanic relief in contact with the sea. An ideal area to take a dip and enjoy nature.
The Cueva de la Vaca, in the south of Tenerife, is located in the municipality of Santiago del Teide. It is a natural pool that is surrounded by a kind of crown formed by volcanic rocks. The waves constantly enter the natural pool producing a striking effect and making the water always clean and crystal clear.
Despite being a very attractive place and one of the most spectacular caves in Tenerife, Cueva de la Vaca is not a place that is usually visited by tourists. Even many of the island’s own inhabitants are unaware of its existence.
A place to enjoy the sea
To get to the Cueva de la Vaca, you have to go to Santiago del Teide, which is about 40 kilometers from Tenerife Sur airport. Then you have to get to Playa de la Arena. From the southern airport it will take just over half an hour, since most of the journey is made by motorway. From Santa Cruz or the North airport it will take a little longer, since it is more than 150 km away.
Access to the Cueva de la Vaca is very simple, since it is only necessary to walk a few meters from a nearby residential area to access it. Its proximity to Playa de la Arena makes it possible to alternate a visit to Cueva de la Vaca with bathing on this black sand beach.
As usual throughout the southern area of Tenerife, the weather is usually warm, with clear skies and temperatures that invite you to swim, so even in winter it is a good time to take a dip in the Cueva de la Vaca.
A truly unique experience
Taking a dip in the Cueva de la Vaca will be a truly unique experience. Enjoying a pool of turquoise waters completely surrounded by volcanic rocks is a unique sensation that you can leave reflected in spectacular photos and videos.
This natural pool is located in an ideal area to be able to alternate the visit with other interesting locations, which makes it worth betting on this adventure discovering one of the many secret places that the island of Tenerife hides.
