Awesome views along a not too difficult hike. The most challenging part was the climb back out of the canyon. A little over 170 stairs. Our guide, Pau, taught us the history of the Turia river and kept a descent pace without hurrying us along. There was plenty of time to take photos along the way. After the hike we had about an hour to explore the village of Chulilla and the old fort nearby before heading to the swimming location. The cool water of the Turia was quite welcome after a very warm day on the trails.
This tour was very enjoyable! The hike was nice, very relaxed pace and knowledgeable guide, not necessarily a huge workout though if that’s what you’re looking for. Gorgeous cliff and turquoise river views. The town of Chulilla was very small, perfect for an hour of lunch and free time but expect only small restaurants and a little main plaza. And then the natural pools were a great way to end the excursion! A little on the expensive side, but would recommend.
The tour was almost private, we had a great time. At our own pace, we managed to do the whole trail and then go to the super refreshing river.
This excursion with our guide Pau was incredible!! He is incredibly attentive, and I really needed that during some climbs and descents, a few slips, and not having too much vertigo! But he introduced us to fabulous places; it remains my best memory of this vacation in Valencia.
Absolutely amazing excursion!!! Stunning landscapes, a little swim in the river, and then the hike in the canyon was just extraordinary! It's impossible not to stop every 2 minutes to admire and take photos. The guide was also excellent, so I recommend it 200%!
A 10 out of 10 experience, very varied, with a pleasant hiking route, free time in a very beautiful town, and now on hot days, something that is greatly appreciated, a dip in a charming place. The schedule now in summer is ideal, as I did the tour in the afternoon and we hardly saw anyone, and the route at the end of the afternoon is perfect since it is not hot at all!
For sure this is the best option if you are interested in real,authentic travelling,away from massive tourism.Pau is an excellent guide,he gave us many interesting information about the flora and fauna of the area and led us with safety through this amazing canyon.He is also very friendly and polite.I really feel I have to come back and try more tours with him.
We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide Pau made it truly special by giving the right amount of information and creating in general a very pleasant atmosphere.
It was a wonderful trip.I would highly recommend it.We got to see and do so much and cannot praise Pau enough.He was an excellent guide.I have recommended this trip to our family and friends.
Fantastic tour with Pau, who was brilliant guide. 10 out 10.
