One of the most beautiful and spectacular hikes in Andalusia! Los Cahorros is located in the Sierra Nevada, near Granada, and offers a unique mix of nature, adventure, and stunning views.

During this hike, you follow the Monachil River through a narrow gorge with impressive rock walls. You cross several hanging bridges, walk along waterfalls, and sometimes crawl under rocks – a real adventure! The route is not very difficult but does require some agility and a sense of adventure.

Along the way, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views, cool shaded paths along the water, and the peace of the mountains. Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone who wants to discover Andalusia in a unique way.
