🏖️ 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 in Guájar Alto, a picturesque village in the Alpujarras known for its narrow streets and traditional whitewashed houses. We first explore the village, visiting the Iglesia de la Encarnación and taking in its historic charm.

From the village, the route heads into the surrounding mountains, offering beautiful views of the valley and neighboring villages. Along the way, we reach the Poza Guájar Alto, a natural pool where hikers can pause and enjoy the scenery.

The walk combines cultural sights, peaceful mountain trails, and relaxing spots by the water, making it a delightful experience for those wishing to explore Guájar Alto and its surroundings.
