🏖️ During the summer period, we do not organize hikes. We usually resume at the beginning of September. Please note if you go by yourself, temperatures above ☀️ 25°C (77°F) make a hike more strenuous than usual. Read more about the risks here.

This hike starts just outside Dúrcal, a charming town in the Guadalfeo valley known for its traditional streets and picturesque plazas. From the outskirts, we head toward the Río Dúrcal, where the trail begins to reveal waterfalls, pools, and lush scenery.

Walking along the river, we encounter the Cascada de los Bolos and other natural highlights. While we won’t be in the water all the time, some sections require wading, so expect wet feet. The path also offers beautiful views of the surrounding hills and the valley below.

The route finishes back near Dúrcal, with the option to drive three minutes to a nearby campsite for a refreshing drink afterward.

Note about the meeting point: stay on the main road when heading to the parking area, even if Google Maps suggests an alternative, as smaller roads are not suitable for all vehicles.
