“This is a beautiful hike which is moderate in difficulty. The views are stunning and the route is interesting and varied. Be aware that towards the end the path goes near a dam and you will get soaking wet on one side passing the dam. The natural pools are amazing and a nice area to relax. We had two lovely guides for the trip and they took good care of us. The only negative was there are no toilet facilities for most of the day which is a little difficult to manage. Overall a fabulous day out in Valencia.”
