Peña Cortada (meaning 'cut rock') is one of Valencia’s most popular hiking routes. There are not many places in Spain where you can walk through rock-cut tunnels, crevices and bridges which once gushed with water to sustain a whole Roman city. In Peña Cortada we will walk through the most impressive building, the Roman aqueduct of La Peña Cortada which is one of four main aqueducts of the Iberian Peñiscula. Afterwards, we will continue the route onto the picturesque village of Chelva. 

Chelva is situated in the interior part of the province of Valencia.  The origin of its name is a Roman word, “silva” that means jungle. This lovely village was declared Place of Cultural Interest in the Historical Complex category, because it holds four districts from different cultures that inhabited this land: The Arab, The Moorish, The Jewish and The Christian quarters. 

After Chelva we will go down to the river and follow the Ruta del Agua (water route). As it's name suggests, it is a pleasant walk following the course of the river. Coming along the path next to the Chelva river we will find beautiful waterfalls and a spot for picnics.

Hiking route in Chelva: Ruta del Agua & Peña Cortada is an easy walk that is ideal to disconnect from the city and enjoy a wonderful setting in a great company. What are you waiting for? Go ahead and sign up! 😀
