About the artwork

Tobas de Colores del Barranco de las Vacas is a hidden gem in Gran Canaria known for its unique, colourful rock formations. Located in the municipality of Agüimes, in the southeast of the island, this small gorge is a breathtaking natural phenomenon where ancient layers of volcanic rock in warm hues of orange, pink and brown take you to an almost otherworldly world. This mood photo shows the winding, smooth rock walls of Barranco de las Vacas, carved by wind and water over the years, and shows why this hidden spot is becoming increasingly popular among adventure travellers and photographers.

The Tobas de Colores, also known as the 'colourful cliffs', are part of a dry riverbed and are best reached by a short walk through the Barranco de las Vacas. Reminiscent of famous canyons in the United States, the gorge offers a spectacular mix of colours and textures that are especially highlighted by the incident sunlight. The soft light gliding along the smooth rock walls makes for beautiful photos and a magical atmosphere.

Although it is not a large area, the special design of the rocks makes this a unique destination in Gran Canaria. This hidden piece of nature is ideal for those who love adventure and photography and want to discover something off the beaten track on the island. A visit to the Tobas de Colores gives you a unique insight into Gran Canaria's geological history, and is an experience you won't soon forget.
