Chulilla Hanging Bridges Hike from Valencia — Turia Canyon and the Charco Azul

A movie-set canyon an hour and a half from Valencia

Limestone walls dozens of metres high, the Turia river in shades of turquoise and two hanging bridges spanning the canyon: the Chulilla route is technically easy and visually one of the most spectacular in Spain. At the end, the Charco Azul awaits — a perfect pool for a swim.

Group hiking you’ll remember

We travel by coach with a big group of locals, Erasmus students and expats. Nobody’s in a rush, and between one bridge and the next the group really comes together. Most people come on their own.

FAQ

Is the route dangerous?
No. The bridges have handrails and it’s a popular route for families and people with no hiking experience.

What if I’m afraid of heights?
With a mild fear of heights it’s fine. If it’s severe, ask us before booking.

Can you do it in winter?
Yes, although the Charco Azul will be cold for swimming. Spring and autumn are the best seasons.

What shoes do I need?
Hiking shoes or trainers with good grip. No flip-flops or smooth soles.

How do I get to Chulilla from Valencia without a car?
Chulilla is inland in Valencia province, just over an hour by road, and public buses are very infrequent. On this trip you board the coach at Mestalla stadium and go straight to the start of the hanging bridges route, with no parking worries.

Where does the coach leave from?
