🏖️ 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 iconic hike starts in Saleres, a small village in the Alpujarras. The route takes us through the Barranco de la Luna, a stunning gorge with dramatic rock formations and crystal-clear water.

Although the walk is relatively short, it is full of adventure as we wade through the water in some sections, so expect wet feet and a refreshing experience. The scenery is unique and makes the hike truly memorable.

The route loops back to Saleres, offering a perfect combination of natural beauty, fun, and a little challenge in a compact hike.
