It is necessary to apply sunscreen, most of the paths are in the shade but you can still get burned, very beautiful and perfect for connecting with nature

The Jerte River rises in the Gredos mountain range and flows through the impressive valley of the same name in northern Extremadura. Along its way, it feeds gorges, natural pools, and lush forests, becoming a true oasis, especially in spring, when cherry blossoms cover the landscape.

Located in the charming and quiet town of Guijo de Santa Bárbara, Charco del Trabuquete is a simple, although somewhat demanding, route that runs through the Jaranda Gorge. A route dotted with cliffs and cliffs through which streams and river gorges with crystal-clear waters flow. It is undoubtedly a natural environment of great beauty nestled between the Sierra de Gredos and the Sierra de Tormantos.

A stunning riverside walk. The lavender and Spanish Broom was particularly vibrant on the 10th May.

The Jerte is a river from Cáceres that gives its name to the valley through which it passes. The 11 towns that make up the Valle del Jerte commonwealth are located on both banks of the river, which runs a total of about 70 kilometres. This point is ideal to relax under the shade of the trees listening to the sound of the water.

Small historic medieval town in Valle del Jerte on the trade route between Plasencia and Ávila. Don't forget to take a dip or swim to cool off in the Jerte River.
