A man who fell while hiking down the notorious Masca Barranco had to be airlifted to safety earlier this week.
A helicopter managed to land in a safe area among the steep slopes of the barranco near the man. He was then evacuated by stretcher and flown to the helipad in Adeje, where an ambulance was on standby to take him to a local hospital.
His condition was described as non-serious by hospital staff.
