라스 알푸하라스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Experiences from November 2025: Access to the river from both sides is blocked and clearly marked with prohibition signs! At the marked location, there is a narrow bridge without railings. There is no sign of the waterfall or the attractive wooden bridge with railings shown in the photos by "expert" Oliver! The circular routes indicated under this trail are therefore completely unusable if you adhere to the prohibitions and barriers! We had to turn back and, unfortunately, retrace our steps. Very frustrating!

No problem at all with the north way, really nice landscape; 1h30 in running

The descent via the northern slope is only recommended to a limited extent. Due to a landslide/rockslide, the path has completely disappeared in places and you have to find your way through the terrain without a path for about 1km.

The Tajo de Cortés Waterfall is an impressive waterfall located in the Alpujarra Granadina, near the towns of Pitres and Pórtugos in Andalusia. Two routes that will take you to this beautiful waterfall: Sendero PR-A 29 from Pórtugos or the somewhat shorter Circular Route from Pitres.

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.

The Lanjarón River rises in the high mountain of Sierra Nevada, under the peak of Veleta, and runs through the Lanjarón valley until it passes through the town of the same name and empties into the Rules dam.
