Algar Waterfalls Day Trip from Valencia — Cascades and Turquoise Swimming Pools

Waterfalls near Valencia: why the Algar is the best

The Algar waterfalls (Fonts de l’Algar, in Callosa d’en Sarrià, Alicante) are one of the most beautiful natural spots in the Valencia region. The Algar river flows down from the Sierra de Bernia forming a chain of waterfalls and crystal-clear pools, explored along a circuit of wooden walkways and paths of around 1.5 km. Getting there without a car is tricky, so we make it easy: you hop on the coach at Mestalla and we take care of the rest.

A day trip to meet people, not just to see a place

We travel by coach with a big, mixed group: locals from Valencia, Erasmus students and expats who live here. Most people come on their own — between one pool and the next, the group comes together.
