Charco Azul

Simply love this easy hiking trail, it’s accessible with children and dogs, in a sunny day even more delightful 🥰

Beautiful lake near Chulilla village. Don't come too early when the sun is not shining on the lake..... Definitely come here when visiting Valencia, it's only an hour away! There are hikes of 10 kilometers, with a normal to average trail. Parking place P1 is closest to the cliffs and the viewing point over the village. Will come back here sometimes!

Nice hiking trails beneath beautiful rocky mountains. The water in the river and pond is very refreshing. The city of Chulilla is also worth visiting

Stunning location to visit from Chulilla.
Parking: Park your car in Chulilla and then follow signs for Charco Azul. It's a relatively easy path, and you should get there within 30~40mins walk (we walked slowly). The path has some stunning views of the surrounding mountains ❤

Charco Azul is a natural pool located near Valencia in Spain. It is known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, surrounded by lush vegetation and cliffs, offering a picturesque and serene setting. This area is a popular destination for tourists seeking a refreshing dip and a relaxing day in nature. Additionally, Charco Azul is often visited for its unique geology, as the pools are formed by volcanic activity, creating a fascinating landscape. It is also a popular spot for activities like swimming, sunbathing, and hiking.

Beautiful place for a nice hike! The hanging platform above the lake were closed as they are broken and impossible to walk on. So we walked to the lake from the other side. It's really nice to see it and the nature surrounding it. The mountains are amazing!
It can be tough to find parking in the village. We were able to find one closer to the route but it may be challenging to find a spot.
It's quite an easy walk, it start in the village of Chulilla, look for the Cargo Azul sign. First you go down to the river and just follow it till you see the lake and you can either return the sane way, or near the pond, where the steaks end, keep on straight to finish the hike from another side, or go back up the stairs to the village. Suitable for children, and also in the summer it's nice to dip the legs in the water.

Only saw it from high above , as our hike took us on another route , but the views were amazing from above

Beautiful walk. We recommend visiting during the week, and arriving early as it's get busy at weekends. It's about 2km from the village. Beautiful views!

Swim swim. Bloody lovely

Beautiful and easy to do trail!

Great place to visit! The surrounding canyon walls look magnificent! There are hardly any people there.

Beautiful natural area. Wonderful hike.

Beautiful hike down and quiet easy. Great swimming spot 😄

Beautiful place... Nature at its best.

The Charco Azul is a popular attraction in Chulilla, a lake bounded on three sides by the steep cliffs of the Turía gorge that can be reached by a delightful walk along the well-marked SL-CV 74 which follows the canyon's base alongside the river as it loops around the huge outcrop on which the village has been built. There are several small wooden bridges to cross, a few scrambles over and even through huge boulder fields, the huge chunks dislodged from the steep cliffs in years gone by. The lake itself - it means "Blue Puddle" in English - can be a beautiful quiet reflective place if you time it right. There is evidence of the old route that the workers building the nearby reservoir took, narrow planks anchored precariously to the one of the cliff faces just above the surface of the water. The walkway seems to have been closed for the moment but with a bit of investment to renovate it, the route could become a great addition to link with that of the hanging bridges - and a fun attraction in itself. The route is suitable for ages and abilities.

Nice places, easy hike. Water a bit cold but definitely worth a visit, especially for all the instagramers.

Connecting with nature.. Sshhh 😍❤🕉
