Dílar: Cascada del Río Dílar

This refreshing hike starts just outside the village of Dílar, in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Natural Park. Soon we follow the Río Dílar upstream, with the sound of flowing water accompanying us throughout the route. The first section passes through a wide riverside area with wooden tables and benches, a popular natural meeting spot where people gather to enjoy the surroundings.

We continue along the Camino de la Fábrica, following the river and passing the machinery building of the small hydroelectric plant Nuestra Señora de las Angustias. Along the way we cross the river several times, allowing us to cool off as we go. At times we stay close to the riverbank, while at others we climb slightly higher for beautiful views of the Atalayones de Dílar on one side and the Cuerda del Trevenque and Boca de la Pescá on the other.

The route alternates between lush vegetation, narrow passages and more open or dry sections, making the landscape constantly change. The final reward is the Dílar waterfall, where crystal-clear, ice-cold water collects in a natural pool. A perfect place to rest, enjoy the surroundings and dip your feet in the water before returning the same way.
