Highlights
  • Chulilla - Chulilla is located just 45 minutes of driving away from Valencia. The hike is divided into two parts: first the hanging bridges and then the village of Chulilla and the Charzo Azul lake.

We will start the hike going through the canyon made by the Turia river and soon get to the Hanging Bridges.This is where most photos are taken and we will certainly stop here to take some of our own. After that we will continue walking through the canyon. Luckily, there is road access to the both sides of the canyon, so you can walk the trail without having to go back the same way.

After that we will get back to the car and after a short drive we will be in Chulilla. Here we will visit the remains of the castle of Chulilla, located on the hilltop right above the village. Next, we will walk down to through another part of the canyon to Charco Azul. Here we will observe the dam and get the chance to take a dip in the cool waters of this lake.

A short walk back and we will return to Chulilla. Here we can have a post-hike drink in a bar, before heading back to Valencia.

The trek through the canyon along the river Turia offers an experience of feeling insignificant amidst the towering canyon walls and provides a direct connection with one of the most distinctive locales in the Valencian Community.

Beautiful Scenery - This was a wonderful hike! The scenery is breathtaking and although we are young, we have been quite unfit in the last year but still managed the hike comfortably.

Best day out in Valencia! - We had the best day out with Dmitri! Set off early as it was extremely hot during our stay, this worked out perfectly. We went to the bridges, through the beautiful town to the castle and found the perfect spot for lunch and a swim where we were the only ones there. Cannot recommend this guy enough, he was great fun, knowledgable and very patient with out photo taking! Gracias

Fabulous Guide - Great Hike - Views like no other. - If you want a hike that takes you to places you've not seen before, then this is for you. We hiked from the original canal site, to a viewpoint with a spectacular reservoir below. Then off to the hanging bridges, with a stop to watch cliff climbers along the way. Loved it all. Dmitry was an excellent guide. This was my third hike with Dmitry and he chooses ideal trails, gives us lots of local history and fun facts, plus we stop before and after in delightful village for a cool drink. What impresses me most about Dmitry is how he understands the group quickly and paces us accordingly. I brought 3 different students with me on the three hikes and each had a different level of ability. Dmitry made it a great experience for all of us. Plus he sent us photos after the trip that were way better than the ones I took.

We would definitely book it again! - Booked just one day in advance, were contacted shortly after to fix time and place to be collected. It was very nice to start and end directly at our hotel! The walk is about 16km and we needed about 4,5h including a lunch break with a beautiful view. The scenery was amazing and much to see. The guide is very friendly, checking with us what we wanted to do and knew a lot about the area. Would book again :)

You won’t be left hanging by Valencia Mountain Enthusiasts!! - Dmitry of Valencia Mountain Enthusiasts will never ‘leave you hanging’ as he always has incredible hikes planned…but he will take you to see and hike hanging bridges!! I spent a day with friends and Dmitry hiking to ‘Chulilla’ with its hanging bridges and steep, deep crevices carved by ancient rivers. I felt like I was in America’s Southwest with the stunning colors of the rocks. We saw many rock climbers hanging on these perfect rock faces. What a sight! Incredible rugged beauty with the added bonus of watching other talented humans traversing these rocks like Spider-Man!! Ruta De Los Calderones was amazing and it included a great spot for our lunch break overlooking a gorgeous reservoir. My husband and I have joined Dmitry on many hikes over the last 3+ years whenever we are in Valencia (we live there most of the winter months). Being full time travelers for four years now and experiencing many countries and hikes, I can not emphasize enough how well these hikes are thought out and carried out! Dmitry thinks of everything. And boy, he KNOWS these trails!! In this case, remember, he won’t leave you hanging but he will take you on an amazing hike to walk across and even under the beautiful Chulilla Hanging bridges.

Scenic - The scene is nice but the guide is on the quiet side. Doing a bit more homework on stories behind each part of the hike would be nice.
