The city of Garachico with its port was founded by the Genoan banker Cristóbal de Ponte after the conquest of Tenerife in 1496.
One of the most beautiful natural swimming pools in Tenerife is El Caletón which is located there. These volcanic pools in Garachico are created by the last eruption of the Trevejo volcano back in 1706. It buried a lot of the town and as the lava reached the sea it formed these natural swimming pools, which are now one of the must-sees 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.
