Waterfalls, wooden bridges and a gorge: the spring route along the most beautiful river in Andalusia

Posted on 12 April 2026

Paradise on earth exists and is somewhere in Jaén. Specifically, within the Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas Natural Park, where a fairy tale path is hidden suspended over turquoise waters between high and winding stone walls. Today we bring you the most magical spring hiking plan.

This route follows the course of the Borosa River, a tributary of the Guadalquivir, for about four kilometers. It starts at the Torre del Vinagre Visitor Center, from where the path begins along wooden and stone bridges surrounded by holm oaks, pine trees, waterfalls, pools and turquoise waterfalls. It is a calm, easy and pleasant walk where the sound of the water continually accompanies you.

As you advance, the wooden walkways embedded in the rock walls more than 10 meters high begin, with a route of 400 meters over the water inside this impressive gorge. If you pay attention, you can see trout and barbel jumping in the river. The path is flat and well maintained, but poses a crossroads: when you reach the gorge you can turn back and finish the walk; or you can continue towards a stunning waterfall.

If you venture further ahead, you will find another three kilometers of trail, with more gradient and ascent. It is worth it, along the way there is the Rebosadero Waterfall, the Calavera Waterfall and the famous Salto de los Órganos, a spectacular 60-meter waterfall. This great plan in spring is, without a doubt, unmatched.
