Embark on an Adventurous Journey through the Hiking Trails of Nerja

Uncover the Hidden Gems: Hiking Highlights in the Malaga Region

Nerja is perfectly situated for hiking enthusiasts, as it offers easy access to some of the most scenic trails in the Malaga region. Here are some of our top recommendations:

1. 1. Rio Chillar Trail: This picturesque trail follows the course of the Rio Chillar, leading you through stunning waterfalls, narrow gorges, and crystal-clear pools. It’s an invigorating hike perfect for hot summer days.

      

      Immerse yourself in the wonders of nature with a remarkable hiking adventure on the renowned Rio Chillar trail, also known as the Cachorros route, nestled in the captivating region of Nerja. This trail offers a medium-level hiking experience, surrounded by lush greenery, flowing water, and vibrant native flowers, providing a scenic and rejuvenating journey. However, it’s crucial to approach this hike with preparation and a deep respect for the environment.

      The full hike to “el Vado de los Patos” covers a round trip of 16 kilometers, allowing you to leisurely traverse approximately 80% of the route alongside the enchanting Chillar river. While the water level typically reaches ankle height, it’s worth noting that at times it may rise to knee-deep. Plan for an estimated completion time of 6 to 7 hours, and it’s advisable to commence early to relish the tranquility before the crowds arrive and to conclude your adventure before nightfall.

      If you are accompanied by children or prefer a more leisurely hike, an alternate option awaits—a delightful 5-kilometer round trip featuring a refreshing poza (natural pool) and the famed Cachorros section. This shorter route offers a slightly easier terrain while still allowing you to revel in the scenic beauty. Nonetheless, it’s important to be mindful of the limited accessibility for emergency services and civil protection, as well as the need to respect and preserve the natural environment. Remember, this trail is located within a precious natural park, and it’s our shared responsibility to care for it by refraining from littering, avoiding any fire hazards, and refraining from removing plants or fruits from their natural habitat.

      Embark on this captivating journey, where the splendor of Malaga’s hiking trails will leave an indelible mark. Immerse yourself in the embrace of nature, embrace the serenity of Rio Chillar, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

   2. El Cielo Summit Trail: For those seeking a more challenging adventure, the El Cielo Summit Trail offers breathtaking panoramic views of Nerja and the Mediterranean Sea. Prepare yourself for a steep ascent, but the reward at the top is truly worth it.

      

      Are you ready to elevate your hiking experience and witness awe-inspiring panoramic views of Nerja and the glistening Mediterranean Sea? Look no further than the remarkable El Cielo Summit Trail. This trail beckons to those seeking a more challenging adventure, promising an ascent that will test your limits and reward you with breathtaking vistas that will leave you in awe.

Take a moment to catch your breath and absorb the panoramic expanse of Nerja and the vastness of the Mediterranean Sea stretching before you.
