From Valencia, Montanejos with hiking trail

Experience an unparalleled natural paradise just one hour away from Valencia! Our skilled guides await to lead you on an exhilarating hike featuring panoramic vistas. Following our serene river retreat, we provide an optional shorter trek to the captivating Black Cave.

This destination is highly recommended as it offers a serene retreat amidst nature's beauty. Located just outside Valencia, this area features pristine thermal waters that maintain a consistent temperature of 25°C throughout the year, making them ideal for relaxation and rejuvenation. Guided treks provide breathtaking vistas while swimming in the cool, mineral-rich waters is both invigorating and therapeutic.

These waters boast a unique composition, containing 700 mg/L of sulfated magnesium bicarbonate, which makes them hypothermic and classified as oligometric with medium mineralization. Legends surrounding the site suggest that the Moors introduced this natural spa to their harem, believing it could grant eternal youth. Archaeological evidence indicates remnants of ancient Arab baths dating back to the 13th century, further enriching the historical context.

Today's adventure promises a variety of activities:
- An optional bath session at the hypothermal springs, followed by a picnic lunch.
- An extended hike through the mountainous terrain, offering panoramic views of the valley and the river.
- A shorter, yet challenging hike leading to the Black Cave.

The longer excursion involves navigating steep paths along the coast of the Mijares River, culminating in a rapid release of water estimated at approximately 6000 liters per minute. This journey is accessible to all levels of fitness, requiring sturdy footwear and appropriate preparation.

In addition to the main route, there is a shorter alternative that rewards visitors with a larger, fascinating cave system. Both routes offer opportunities for stunning vistas and engaging exploration experiences.
