Las Grietas is a stunning destination for adventurous swimmers. It features an inland stretch of crystal clear emerald green water at the bottom of an earth fracture, which is over 10 meters deep and 7 meters wide and 100 meters long. The area is fed by both underground river water and ocean water, making for a cool, brackish atmosphere. A dramatic contrast can be found in the surrounding cliffs of dark volcanic rock, adding to the natural beauty. Travelers can experience this unique place as a day trip with or without a guide, or they can make a pit stop during their trek from Angermeyer Point to the fracture. Swimming in Las Grietas is sure to provide an unforgettable experience with its rugged beauty and calming atmosphere. Las Grietas is usally part of the Bay Tour that takes you to the Love Channel, Playa de Los Perros Beach and to the Tintoreras.
