From Valencia: Peña Cortada Private Hiking Day Tour

6.Peña Cortada Private Hiking Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 6 hours · from $65Cheapest way up

Leave Valencia for a private hike through Peña Cortada’s 1st-century Roman aqueduct, rock-cut tunnels, river paths, and Chelva’s Arab, Jewish, and Moorish quarters. Your guide, such as Melchor or Dimitri, leads the 14-kilometre route and explains the ruins, waterworks, and town. Hotel pickup, drop-off, and guiding are included.

“Melchor is an excellent guide! The hike was truly awesome - including mostly natural spaces with fantastic views, a variety of terrains, portions of the aqueduct, many tunnels, lots of blooming wildflowers (in early January), a long stream and a long stretch along a river, caves, some ruins, panoramic views, and a stint through a delightful historic area of Chelva. But be prepared, depending on the trail chosen, for ~25k steps/~10 miles in total, an almost 10 hour day, and ~70 flights climbed. It was a divine and robust excursion! And I’d do it again in a heartbeat… after a couple of days of rest ;) Thank you Melchor for…”
