Our guide, Julio, was very friendly and I liked the way he managed the pace of the walk to suit all participants. I recommend going with a guide on this tour as there are a few tricky sections where Julio's advice on how to navigate these bits was very handy. We also got stories and information that made the walk all the more interesting. If it's hot in Granada then the walk through the canyon is the perfect activity. It's so cool traversing the path next to the river. I thoroughly recommend this activity.

I was very nervous about booking this as i was worried i would find it too hard in the heat. I am so chuffed to have completed it and our guide Julio was so kind, friendly and patient. He went at the right pace and stopped many times so people could have water, take a moment to catch the breadth and take photos. i would recommend

It was amazing to see so much variety landscape in 3. hours easy hike . Glad I went with a group, some of the rocky trails were hard to consider as a route Julio was very helpful and took photos for us, which was great. But remember to bring a backpack so you can keep your hands free!
