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.

Spectacular waterfall. There's a walkway that allows you to see it practically from above.

It is a charming town, which still preserves the traditional architecture of the valley. It is worth walking through its narrow streets and contemplating the wooden balconies and original stone constructions.

If you pass by here, it may be one of your obligatory stops. This spa on the banks of the Jerte River offers you everything you need to rest and regain energy. There is a camping area and a hostel next to the building.

The path from the Cascada Caozo is a partly very steep mountain path with very few cairns and is densely overgrown. The pool at the Cascada Calderon invites you to swim.

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.
