Hiking

The province of Jaén may be famous for its sea of olive trees and its castles, but it also hides a spectacular environment to enjoy hiking.

This Route takes you along the Borosa River to the place from which it emanates, in the incredible Segura mountain range. We are not lying to you when we say that it is one of the most interesting routes in Spain: a combination of forest, panoramic views, animals such as deer and foxes, and a river that forms spectacular waterfalls.

The best times to visit this place are autumn and spring, which is when the river carries more water and the waterfalls are in all their splendor. To get to the starting point, you will need your own vehicle, which you can leave without problem in the paid parking.

Salto de los Órganos Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The trail to Salto de los Órganos starts from the power station and is probably one of the most spectacular and challenging sections. After overcoming some steep slopes, to the left, from the Picón del Haza, a waterfall with a drop of more than 170 meters unfolds. The force of this waterfall is used by the hydroelectric plant.

Borosa River Water Canal Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

This tunnel was made to bring water from the source of the Borosa River and the Aguas Negras lagoon to the hydroelectric plant. Inside there are quite dark sections, so it is good to bring a flashlight.
