After being collected from Granada city center, you will be driven to 2,500 meters above sea level to the top of the Sierra Nevada Road. From here you will head to the most beautiful glacier valley of Sierra Nevada, San Juan Valley.
Here you will learn how the ice has been excavating the rocks throughout thousand of years. You will also encounter beautiful waterfalls , and shiny rocks, as well as wildlife such as mountain goats, eagles, birds migrating from Africa, and insects and plants that only exist here.
This hike goes off the beaten path., getting an elevation of more than 3000 meters (10000 ft) to the top of Tajos del Campanario, from where we will admire the dramatic north face of Muhacen(the highest peak in the Iberian peninsula), Veleta and Alcazaba, excavated by the largest glaciers in Sierra Nevada.Your guide knows the best secret spots in Sierra Nevada after more than 30 years hiking here.
Your guide will establish an easy pace for the group, offering several stops to rest and enjoy the views; participants have to have a moderate physical level, but they don't have to be super strong or experienced hikers.
