Loved this hike! It has great views and was pretty easy. Marcelo did a great job hosting us and also got some very cool pictures. 10/10 would recommend. We also went a little earlier to avoid people.
Lovely Morning hiking with fabulous guide Julio, hiked at a steady pace and was definitely an adventure. Julio took photos on the way round and we received these couple of days later. Would definitely recommend this trip!
Amazing hike. Great sights. Knowledgeable guide. Great experience and photo opportunities. Everything was well organized.
Beautiful hike with amazing views
Very pleasant stroll and hike. Julio, a cheerful guide.
Cool hike, Julio was a great guide! Was good to go in the morning when it was cool and before the area got crowded.
We had a great time with Marcello and the rest of the hiking group. We had researched and considered doing the hike on our own but wanted a mental break from navigating and figuring things out after a week of travel in Spain, and we are glad we joined this hike. Marcello was easygoing and took good care of the group, even providing hiking sticks, bottled water, and granola bars. The hike was pretty short and easy, though there are some tricky areas to maneuver around the river and in the canyon. Before those sections, he’d talk us through what to expect and how to traverse safely. It was nothing crazy but just having that explained to us instead of figuring it out on our own made the hike more relaxing and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed him showing us the indigenous herbs, like lemon thyme and rosemary. Marcello showed us the scenic viewpoints and took great photos for us. Highly recommend this hike!
Our family had an amazing time hiking the Canyon of the Monachil Cubs! If you’re looking to get out of the city and experience the incredible natural beauty surrounding Granada, this excursion is absolutely worth it. Our guide, Julio, was fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. The drive to the trailhead was only about 20 minutes from Granada, making it an easy half-day adventure. The hike itself lasted around two hours, and we loved every minute. The terrain was varied enough to keep things interesting, with suspension bridges, rocky paths, and beautiful scenery, but it never felt intimidating. Julio shared interesting information about the trail and the surrounding landmarks, which made the experience even more enjoyable. At the end of the tour, Julio even kindly dropped us off closer to our hotel, which was a thoughtful touch and greatly appreciated. Our entire family—two adults and our children (ages 12 and 15)—absolutely loved this trip. It was one of our favorite experiences in Granada, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, scenic, and memorable outdoor adventure.
The Cahorros de Monachil hike offers beautiful scenery and some very enjoyable sections along the river and suspension bridges near Granada. Our guide, Marcello, was extremely kind, helpful, and clearly put a lot of effort into making everyone feel comfortable and safe throughout the tour. That said, the overall pacing was much slower than expected for an experienced and relatively fit group like ours, with many long stops and explanations that were sometimes difficult to follow due to the language barrier. Because of this, we unfortunately could not complete some of the viewpoints and parts of the route originally proposed by our guide. Overall, still a pleasant experience thanks to the stunning landscape and the guide’s warm personality, but the tour organization and pacing could have been improved.
Thank you so much for your feedback and for participating in our hike in Los Cahorros de Monachil. We are very happy to know that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and Marcello's kindness and dedication throughout the experience. We also appreciate your comments about the pace of the hike. Our hikes are planned not as a sporting activity or a fitness challenge, but rather as a relaxing and enjoyable experience, focused on appreciating the landscapes, nature, local details, and the unique atmosphere of the region. For this reason, we generally maintain a relaxed pace, with regular stops to appreciate viewpoints, explain interesting aspects of the surroundings, and ensure that all participants feel comfortable and safe during the activity. We would also like to clarify that the planned distance for the experience—approximately 6 km—was covered according to schedule. Some optional viewpoints or additional sections may vary depending on the group's pace, weather conditions, available time, and the overall dynamics of the activity. That being said, we fully understand that different travelers may have different expectations regarding the pace and intensity of the hikes, and your feedback is very valuable to us as it helps us to continue improving the experience and communication about the style of the tour. Thank you again for your kind words about Marcello and for sharing your experience with future travelers.
AMAZING experience. The guide was amazing and very interesting explaining the story and way
