Jorox Valley and El Charco de La Caldera route

It is a unique viewpoint with excellent views of the entire Jorox valley. Right between the municipalities of Alozaina and Yunquera. This valley, located around the river Jorox and on the border between the Sierra de las Nieves and the Guadalhorce region, is one of the natural enclaves with the greatest variety of landscapes in the whole area. It has also been inhabited since the Palaeolithic Age, as evidenced by countless archaeological finds in the caves that surround the valley.

Near the valley and next to the Santo Cristo de la Vera Cruz hermitage is the Charco La Caldera path, which runs through pine woods until it reaches the course of the river Jorox itself. Here there is an impressive natural waterfall, some 22 metres high, rising through the undergrowth, as well as a beautiful, large pool where the crystal-clear mountain water rests.
