Not for the Faint of Heart | Cliff and Tunnel Hike above Los Gigantes, Tenerife

Another day in Tenerife, another trip to explore more of the island. This time we went on a hike along the coast which is not for those who are afraid of heights. Walking on the cliffs of Los Gigantes is certainly something we won't forget! ⛰

If you thought our hike was dangerous, it's actually nothing compared to this insane video that we found. It's from the same area but the guy in the video is walking the water channel high up in the cliffs instead of the path. Totally incredible and crazy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioK5paZ3gJ1pa5I And more of our hiking through tunnels to a hidden beach in the Los Gigantes area is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2nNq2ljm6qkhdU

[@allenberryhill5528]

You don’t need to do this. Just say you did it and move on. Haha

[@lilianadoval8927]

Omg. A super mega giant no-no. That path so dangerous, just looking at it makes me dizzy. And only anesthetized could someone put me in that tunnel. Goosebumps!!!!! Not satisfied with the heights and the tunnel, Peter was trying to get a wave to drag him. Don't feel guilty Tommy, you must preserve yourself. Children like Peter have no sense of danger. Jokes aside guys, massive video. Flawless. 10 out of 10.❤

[@tommyandpeter]

The beginning of the trail was actually quite enjoyable. But once I got to that spot where I didn't feel safe anymore, I knew my part of the hike was over 😃 When I don't feel safe, I'm just not able to continue no matter what. I was glad Peter went on his own though, so at least I didn't have to feel guilty about preventing him from going into the tunnel 😊

[@randyfreedline5583]

I am both claustrophobic and frightened of heights!! Thanks for the vicarious pleasure trip

[@tommyandpeter]

Our pleasure 😃 At least you could come with us (or at least with Peter) where you would normally never go 😊

Thank you Explorer Peter.......and patient Tommy waiting for you. James xx

[@tommyandpeter]

I was tanning while waiting for Peter, so it was all good 😃

[@robertobaldessari9464]

What to say more! Then you have to go to Tenerife for the impressive cliffs overlooking the ocean, extending for several kilometres, which surround it like a majestic amphitheater. Truly a spectacle of nature. Well done guys keep positive experiences and emotions. see you soon R and D 😎😎

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you very much. It was so different to everything we had seen before, so magical 😊 Nature can be so powerful! See you in the next video 😉

[@dorakranjc8361]

I would certainly get lost in this mountains and cliffs and cave.Plus I am scared of heights and somewhat claustrophobic.Peter you are a very brave person

[@tommyandpeter]

Wherever we travel, we always have a map where we can see the trail we're hiking, so we know if we're going in the right direction. But in this case the trail was very straightforward, so we didn't even need a map 😊 But being afraid of heights and being claustrophobic, that's another story 😃

[@lestatthaddee]

What an exciting hike through the cliff !

It was! So different and we loved it 😊

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you David, we definitely won't forget this path and we are glad we could share the adventure 😊

[@fritzrathmann7318]

Sheesh guys. My vertigo kicked in a couple of times there. I'm terrified of heights if I'm there, but love the views when someone else is brave enough to film them. Thanks, guys.

[@tommyandpeter]

Interestingly I didn't have a vertigo on the trail, so I felt quite safe even though I'm normally afraid of heights. Until that rough spot where I decided not to continue. It was a really enjoyable hike until that point 😊

[@liborwunsch737]

We were in Los Gigantes last week and we didn't miss this "walk". Except for the final climb up the rock rubble to the tunnel, the walk was fine. Just don't get vertigo...

[@tommyandpeter]

Yes and it's so different to all the other places. Stunning! 😊

[@ItsallaboutMario]

What an amazing hike. I love your humorous take on it.

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you, the hike was so cool and different 😊

This mountain, and the caves are very interesting. You really reached out on this particular video. It inspires me to read up on these caves and the water manipulation. Thank you so very much.

We're happy to hear you got inspired! We found it all really interesting 😊

[@gracietepereira9134]

Brave boy! I would stay with Tommy and I wouldn't have the courage to go through the tunnel either.😊 Well, but Peter's courage allowed us to know a little more about the island! Thanks Peter! 💕

[@tommyandpeter]

Hi John, I loved every second of everything 😁 I saw the red flags but I also saw 2 kids and a few adults in the water. I only went a few steps into the ocean, that was nothing 😊

[@dudleyhall5217]

Guys, as usual, thanks for taking us along with you. Tommy are you wearing glasses now. Peter, I’m glad you survived the hike to show & tell us about it. The mountain & ocean views were nice. Also, nice music throughout, especially the music of you returning through the cave. Stay safe.

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you! It was such an adventure, very cool. Tommy wears glasses mainly while driving but sometimes he keeps them on also on hikes to see better 😁 Glad you liked the music, I like to play with it and set the mood, like here 🙂

Great vid as always, and love seeing the speedos on the beach too :)

[@tommyandpeter]

Thanks! Spending the evening on the beach was nice 😊

[@user-bi4mq8bx8l]

I took pictures from the highest points at the top of those cliffs in 1986, there was no sign of that cliff walk way below at that time ! Most of my pictures were taken from the basalt 'fish eye' at the top of these cliffs, looking back along the banana groves to the South. We were also very lucky to escape a 3.5 - 4.0m Tsunami, while swimming between the little beach and harbour entrance of Los Gigantes, Tenerife, end of March - early April 1986.

[@tommyandpeter]

That is so cool! We haven't been to the 'fish eye' but we've seen pictures and the views from there are amazing. The whole area is stunning. Sounds like you had quite some adventures back then, which is awesome. Hopefully we'll be back one day 😊

[@jackie8357]

Oooo that is quite scary! The erosion is so close to the path - very beautiful though! Omg 😱 the tunnel wow you are brave!

[@tommyandpeter]

Thanks Jackie, it was amazing and the tunnel was a nice bonus - it was easy to walk there 😊

[@FreewillUSA]

Wow, that was a stunning hike! I would love to do that one, but I agree you have to be careful.

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you. It's definitely a very unique hike, we had not seen somehing like that before 😊 It's an adventure and we'll show more of the area later.

[@FreewillUSA]

@@tommyandpeter I look forward to seeing that!

[@ronsmith2241]

Please be REALLY careful guys. You are so precious.

[@tommyandpeter]

We are careful, this was right up our alley. That is until the point where Tommy didn't want to continue so he stayed behind and didn't take any risks 😉

[@BigGMonsterMan]

Seeing your preview for next weeks video, I recognized the volcano in the background. Teide National Park on Tenerife was used to film one of my favourite movies: One Million Years BC with Raquel Welch! Watch out for dinosaurs! ❤❤

[@tommyandpeter]

Correct! Spoiler alert: We found a pterodactyl nest on top of the mountain, so we rode them back down to save time 😜

[@BigGMonsterMan]

[@mwgiles2186]

Thanks for the video. We also did the same amazing hike up to the tunnel this April, although we had to work out how to get up to it at the very last bit. The views are fantastic and we definitely recommend it. Just be very careful and watch your footings! We continued to walk up to Tamaimo through another longer tunnel higher up before returning to Los Gigantes, stopping for refreshment at the amazing Mirador de Archipenque viewpoint. Lovely place to rest and admire the views. We were absolutely knackered at the end 😂 Thank you again.

[@saethman]

Having your spouse crossing there, and continuing alone? I would have been terrified if I were in your shoes, Tommy :o

[@tommyandpeter]

I was a bit nervous about Peter being on his own but we stayed in contact via our phones and there were other people on the trail here and there so he was not completely alone.

[@ajledoux7051]

Peter your brave and crazy….. I could never do what you did - I’m surprised you left Tommy alone like that (if something happened to you) I sure he was a little bit concerned. Stay safe! Love ya! 🏳️‍🌈👬💜❤️💚💙💛🧡🙏🇺🇦

[@tommyandpeter]

I have to admit I was a bit nervous about Peter being on his own. We stayed in touch over the phone while we were apart which made it easier.

Ugh, I would prefer spending time with you cooking in the kitchen at your country house rather than on the sheer cliffs of Tenerife! Haha. I figure I am the Tommy of Tommy and Peter, but wouldn't mind a Peter - once in a while - to push me beyond my usual limits!!

[@tommyandpeter]

Haha, one day it's cooking and the next we are on the cliffs. Yes, sometimes it is good to be pushed a bit into something new but one shouldn't be scared, that would be too much 😊

Ohhhhhhh!!!! My legs were like jelly just watching you both climb that trail. I’m with Tommy: I wouldn’t have gone any further either. And as for that tunnel…nooooooooo. No. No. No. Great video though. What’s next week? 😉

The beginning wasn't that bad, since even I managed to walk there 😊 But once we reached THAT spot, I knew it was over for me 😄 This week it's more heights of course!

[@tommyandpeter]

Tommy forgot to mention that it's pleasant heights 😜

[@Flanole]

The scenery is spectacular. But it is clear that Tommy is the sane, wise one and Peter is the crazy reckless one. Personally I would have waited back at the beach with a drink. I have to rest after that hike.

[@tommyandpeter]

It was so beautiful! I wouldn't say reckless but maybe more courageous. Tommy was tanning while waiting for me, just the drink was missing. Well, he had water 😁

[@paulbotaslillington6828]

Another amazing video 😮 Trying to workout your accents, It sounds familiar but id rather you tell me 🥰

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you, glad you liked it, it was an incredible hike 😊 We are from the Czech Republic 😉

[@_gregc]

Alright boys, I am several steps ahead of you on this one. Before I even started to watch, I took my special pills. So when Peter was being swallowed whole by the Earth or walking backwards about to fall to his certain death and even poor Tommy left all alone on a very high precarious mountain crag, I simply noticed that the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day 🤣 I am glad that it went well and you enjoyed it. I’ll make sure I’m ready for next video 💊 💊 😵‍💫. The things I do for my favorite people. 😂 Much love ❤ 💋

Hi Greg, that is such a great method, haha 😀 Next time you won't probably need it but we don't know where your limits are 😁

@@tommyandpeter pretty much you guys sunning on lawn chairs in the backyard 🤣🤣

[@flinty8121]

Amazing!! What time of day would you recommend?

[@tommyandpeter]

Thanks! We were there around noon and it took us a few hours. Depends also on how far you want to hike and if you'd want to continue down to the beach at the end of the gorge after the tunnel. It wasn't crowded or anything, the path is not popular (a bit dangerous and kinda sketchy), there were only a few people around. We read somewhere that the tunnel could be closed sometimes (but not sure about that) 🤷

[@boredutopia]

hah i am not claustrophobic, but i am affraid of dark long tunnels, i literaly get panic attack and it can switch me to certain events, so if there is no eletricity or flashlight ot what ever i am not entering tunnels. it is hard to explain, i get overwhelemed by strees feelings, of danger, panic etc.. and if there is people around who i dont know, i go balistic with panic mode, coz i cant see, it is long, not much space and if someone who i dont know i sense is behind me i freak out lol.. so peter kudos to you, i maybe would be abel to come whole way till tunnel and would stay at entrance lol... i am watching this and it gives me creeps just by watching it. peter you remind me of my greek friend, he is same when it comes to exploring and going into places wich are kinda risky, if there is a sign on your own risk, for sure he will be the one going that way and into that place. i am kinda simmilar, as long as it not tunnels like this one, wich often can suck for others, so all of my friends usualy chose activities where there is no risk, i get them, coz screw it i am handicapped and if someting happens i can actualy become huge burden or someone who would not be abel to help properly, like carrying someone or something. so my greek friend needs a lot of self control when with me, not to go into risky places and such stuff. st isvery nce actually to expirence certain places and things thru your videos, coz i was in tenerife and many other places, especialy in iceland, it is filled with things like this and isolated areas and i often went to visit some, but coz of others i often decided when we came to certain point that i will stay behind. coz already till that point i risked too much. it is very nice to see this side of tenerife, wich i did not see when i was there and probably will not see next time i will go there, i probably will go till certain point then just gave up.. so i get tommy too, coz i for sure would risk all the way to tunnel, but not with a tunnel and probably would re think should i go or not at same spot where he left, coz after all you need to gt back and getting back in such places is often trickier then going forward. thx a lot for this video and this expirence... btw that other guy is insane, it is selfish, insane and unnessecary risk, one slip, wrong step, cramp, earthquake and he is gone and someone else can get hurt trying to save him, if he survives or trying to get to his body.. my therapist would say that people like this, deep down are actually suicidal. i was same, was doing simmilar insane things, once he just asked me do i actually want to die, made me think a lot lol, after 3 suicide attempts i realised deep down i am doing such insane things ( was doing back in past), coz actually yeah i was hoping deep down i would die..

[@tommyandpeter]

That tunnel was not so bad because I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. And there were a few people on the hike so I met a few of them, one guy even in the tunnel so I didn't feel like I am completely alone in the darkness. But I get what you mean, it can be scary. We are not done with tunnels yet and probably in two weeks you'll see worse ones, yay 😀 Tenerife is actually a paradise for hikers and we also were surprised when we were researching ahead of our vacation. Your Greek friend sounds like fun, hopefully he is not the one in the second video! Sometimes I can understand people like that though, everyone has different lines that they are able to cross and if it makes him happy then that's all that matters...

[@boredutopia]

@@tommyandpeter yeah he is fun, no it is not him in that video, but he is very close to that, he do simmilar insane things like this guy, but not when he is with me, coz he knows i would go ballistic lol or try to follow him to some point, wich makes things complicated coz even thou i am used to have prsotetic fist and leg ( couple of them, for various occasions and things, their functions varies) still some things are too risky, coz i forget too often that i dont have sense of tpuch, grip etc and my brain still works like i do, coz i knew how it was before it, so some activities i kinda tend to over calculate my abilities, so he actualy for my sake does not go into extremes like he usualy do in case something happens to me, or in case something happens to him and i would not be abel to help him, coz of my own limitiations and he knows i could not live with that guilt over my head. even thou we never directly talked about it, we kinda both knew each other on deeper levels, our relationship and dynimcs are very strange when we are together, we can spend whole day just not saying anything and do things in sync, stay in doors for whole week, or go camping for weeks, just 2 of us. for people , our relationship seems strange and they can't never figure out the nature of it, coz we seem very close, very phisical, but in same time not. but we actually get each other without too much words said and he is the only person in my life who literaly knows every detail of my life, things wich only my therapist knows and people from my support group for survivors of ethnical cleansing, coz he more than once whitnessed some of my break downs, dissociations, driftings to reliving some events, he saw the worst sides of my ptsd wich no one saw ever, not even my exes. my tunnel phobia is actually directly connected to my ptsd and some events, i have same reactions in elevators if i am sharing it with strangers, especialy if it is more than 3 male persons inside, with smaller dark rooms with closed doors. it is more about dark and size of place.. i once asked him why he is doing such insane risky things and he said coz he loves the feeling, the rush.. basicaly he is adrenaline junky. he once broke both legs, arm, shoulder, ribs and almost had serious head injury for doing something simmilar like this guy, he lost the balance and fell 6m into water, luckily there were people in boats who saw him fall, so they pulled him out. since then he kinda toned it down a littel. but yeah i am pretty sure you and him would have a blast together, while me and tommy would sit somewhere waiting for you lol...

[@tommyandpeter]

It's understandable with your PTSD, that must be hard. So interesting to hear about the dynamic between you and your friend, seems like a deep relationship even though it might seem strange to some people.

[@boredutopia]

@@tommyandpeter yeah it is, it actually at first took both of us by surprise coz it is like there is some kind of invisibel secret line connecting us, one of my friends said that chemistry between us can actually be felt by others, but it is so strange that it is not possibel to determine the nature of relationship. we talk every day, whazzup, viber, skype, last time we saw each other was summer and we spent 20 days at croatian coast, our other friends had no clue where we are, what we do, they would see us at the morning and then we would vanish. i actually plan, finaly to go to greece this summer, to stay at his place and finaly see greece lol.. after that who knows where we will end up, no one knows when we are together lol...

[@stpaley]

i started to get nervous when you separated, i don't know if that was a good idea, isn't that why it is called "the buddy system" incase anything happens to one then the other can help or go get help, then again it is probably my own anxieties coming forth

[@tommyandpeter]

I really wanted to see the tunnel but didn't want to force Tommy through the bad spot, so I went alone and we were in contact via our phones. Also there were other people on the trail, not many but here and there, so I wasn't completely alone.
