Such a beautiful hike! During summer times don't forget to get extra water with you, even if hiking close to a river

The Hoz del Río Mijares in San Agustín (Teruel) is a stunning natural setting located in the Gúdar-Javalambre region, ideal for lovers of hiking, geology, and spectacular landscapes.

Beautiful village with wonderful bathing spots

Well-lit 400m tunnel

The Chillapájaros Straits owe their name to the echoes of the birds that inhabit the rocky area, also known as the Mijares Canyon, which is an impressive limestone cut caused by a fault, patiently filed and excavated by the surface runoff of the Mijares River. Here the river bed passes through a deep gorge, two walls more than a hundred meters high in a vertical drop, in a passage about twenty-five meters wide. The road accompanies the river at different heights, approximately 40 m in elevation. The perspectives of this formidable gorge, of its cliffs, can be seen through two large “balconies”, built inside a tunnel that opens the way to the Mijares highway. Later, the viewpoints mentioned above were incorporated. From all of them, you can see the pronounced escarpments carved by the Mijares, whose rocky walls are the destination of numerous climbers throughout the year.

There is a hiking route called “Las Hoces del Mijares” that you can explore. It is approximately 10.24 km long and offers stunning views.

Get close to the river bank and don't miss the views

It's really beautiful there! In the off-season there's not much going on and you practically have nature to yourself.
