Trekking to Los Cahorros lungo la Sierra Nevada

Very exciting hike. The “trail” is narrow as times and that can be a little challenging. Not for the most nervous ones, but not very demanding physically.

Wonderful walk up the gorge along the river to the top of the canyon. We did this in the August heat with an 8 yo! It is a lot for little ones, but the first 3km or so is along the river, so shaded and you can stop for a dip in the cold water. There are some bridges near the top which was plenty for her, and once you're out of the top you're in the heat of the day. So we didn't go right to the waterfall at the very top. You can then either turn back down the river route, or take a shorter route back to Monachil, although it is in the sun. It's all well signposted. Luckily there is a really conveniently placed restaurant nearby as you descend to refuel! Public parking in Monachil is really well signposted and free. To start the walk don't take the bridge, exit the car park by the cafe and turn left up the street, where you'll find maps. Brilliant day!
