Come and enjoy this captivating trekking with sea views, touring the mountains, forests, culture and gastronomy of the Alpujarras, at the foot of the southern slope of Sierra Nevada.
The Alpujarra is a historical region of Andalusia that is divided between the provinces of Granada and Almería. The name derives from the Arabic term al-Busherat which could be translated as theland of grass or land of pastures.
We will spend 5 days on a circular route sleeping in comfortable half-board hotels. We will have the opportunity to ascend the mythical Cerro Gordo, surround ourselves with fauna and typical flora of the forests in the area, visit the historic towns of Berchules, Trevélez and Lanjarón and taste the delicious Andalusian gastronomy.
We will wait for you!

Meeting with the group at the Lanjarón Accommodation. The guide will give a brief presentation of the program and we will enjoy a delicious dinner at the Hotel.
We took a taxi to Casa de Tello where we began our route. We are gaining altitude through deciduous forests towards the Puente del Palo, a rich natural landscape resulting from intense reforestation work. Here we will make a stop to regain strength and enjoy the landscape. We will continue surrounded by beautiful sights until we come across a Buddhist monastery. The center is located at 1600 m. of altitude and the views at this point are spectacular. We continue to the pretty town of Capileira.
Distance: 20 km
Elevation: +668 meters / -1,100 meters
Today we will enjoy a beautiful riverside tour between the 2 highest municipalities on the peninsula. Leaving Capileira we will walk following the Trevélez River valley until its confluence with the Chico River. We will come across impressive natural viewpoints and, with some luck, we will be able to admire the majestic flight of the golden eagle. We will continue to the magnificent town of Trevélez, famous for its ham and its charm, where we can taste some delicious tapas.
Distance: 18 km
Elevation: +905 meters / -775 meters
After yesterday’s intense day, a quiet trekking between lush pine and oak forests awaits us. We will also cross autumn fields of chestnut trees. We will arrive at a small plateau surrounded by magnificent panoramic views and the pretty town of Juviles.
Distance 10 km
Elevation +645 meters / -488 meters
We will dedicate this day to getting to know the cultural wealth of the area. We will enjoy a short tour that will take us to the charming town of Berchules. It is a municipality of Mozarabic origin, 8th century. We still find vestiges of the Nasrid era, its moment of greatest splendor and wealth due to the formidable production of silks (which even competed with the most refined of the East). We will finish the experience by enjoying a good Spa afternoon at our hotel.
Distance: 6 km
Elevation: +252 meters / -232 meters
We arrive at the last day of this great trip and we do it in style, never better said! Today we will ascend to the mythical peak of Cerro Gordo (2086 m).
The walk will take us through the Río Grande de los Bérchules, irrigation ditches and wonderful natural viewpoints where we can contemplate the peaks and valleys of the Sierra Nevada. Depending on the time of year we will need to use snowshoes: as we ascend we will be able to find thick layers of snow. In summer they are not necessary because there is no snow. Once back in Berchules, the taxi will be waiting for us that will take us to Lanjarón. We say goodbye to an unforgettable experience!
