ランハロンの天然記念物・トップ20

A very beautiful, expansive hiking and biking area. Also suitable for multi-day hikes with overnight stays (tent, bikepacking, etc.). Awesome views in every direction. Plenty of free parking available. A must-see for anyone in the area.

Walked Barranco de Luna. Just past the sign “Final de Sendero” we couldn’t possibly continue because the route was barricaded by piled up branches and overgrown with plants, so we had to turn back. Alas!

Here you can gain a few extra meters in altitude.

The trail is pretty easy to find until you get to the waterfalls. To reach Laguna Hondera you must climb up beside the first waterfall. That is between the two waterfalls. There are cairns on the path but it’s quite easy to miss them amongst the other routes up there. It’s a beautiful location. We saw a few ibex but only 2 other hikers!

The area of the Seven Lagoons (and Laguna Hondera in particular) is one of the most beautiful places in the Sierra Nevada National Park. The climb up here next to the waterfall formed by the Chorreras Negras is demanding, but all the pain in your legs is forgotten as soon as you reach the top and see the beauty of the place. Important note: if you plan to spend the night here, do not pitch your tent in the borreguiles (the grasslands). They are home to several species of flora endemic to the Sierra Nevada and it is necessary to protect them.

If you want to access the viewpoint, you just have to walk along a paved road that takes you there in a gentle climb. The views from above are spectacular: you can see the high mountains of Sierra Nevada, as well as the entire Poqueira ravine and its three famous towns: Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira.

Best time to do in the morning and also during the week

Fabulous Step ravine best time to do it. During the week and from 10:00, the route is easy and short, it will not take you more than 1:30 hours and thus you will avoid the overbukin.
