Path through the Turia gorges with two suspension bridges, above walls over 80 m high · about 3 h there and back · €1 fee.

What it is
It is the route the workers on the Loriguilla reservoir took to work from Chulilla in the 1950s, and today the best-known walk in inland Valencia. It runs along the upper edge of the Turia gorges, inside the Los Calderones municipal natural area, a limestone canyon with sheer walls more than 80 metres high. It crosses the canyon twice by suspension bridges; the highest is about 15 metres above the river and more than 20 long. Along the way you pass from the riverside woodland to Mediterranean scrub.
The route
It leaves from Plaza de la Baronía: follow Calle Maestro Amblar until you leave the village by the road, pass the El Altico hostel and, a few metres on, on the left, is the sign for the start. The town hall gives 5.05 km of route and medium-high difficulty; Turespaña counts about 10 km, 3 hours and 324 m of ascent there and back from the village, returning by the same path. Near the start, from the Carrucha viewpoint, you can see the Charco Azul.
Fee and rules
An access fee of €1 a day is charged, every day of the week, at the information point at the start of the route. No booking is needed. The bridges are crossed in turns. With children, the town hall asks for caution on the first 50 metres.
With a guide
It is done independently, but if you want someone to tell you the history of the area, Serranía Aventura guides it from September to May, with the fee included. There is a short version, from about age 6, and a circular one of 16 to 18 km that reaches the Loriguilla dam and returns by the Falfiguera rock paintings, from about age 12.

## Consejos

### Set off early
At weekends the bridges form a queue, and in summer the sun beats down on the edge of the cliff.

### Bring water from the village
There is a drinking-water fountain in Plaza de la Baronía; on the route, nothing.

### Coins for the fee
There is no cash machine in Chulilla: the nearest is 12 km away.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Do you have to book?
No. You just pay €1 at the information point at the start.

### Can you do it with children?
Yes, with children who walk well. Take care on the first 50 metres and on the bridges.

### How long does it take?
About 3 hours there and back from the village, according to Turespaña.
