Explore La Vall d'Uixó: Alto de Rodeno and Pipa route

Discover the renowned Alto de Pipa route in La Vall d'Uixó, offering breathtaking views from 500 meters above sea level. This hike combines stunning panoramas of the Mediterranean Sea and the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park: the Espadán valley on one side and the vast coastline on the other.

The Alto de Pipa route is a favorite among hikers, following the circular PR-CV 241 path. Along the way, you'll encounter the typical flora of the region and pass picturesque spots like Font de Garrut. At the summit, enjoy spectacular views and a well-deserved lunch. Afterwards we descend to La Vall d'Uixó for a refreshing drink before returning to Valencia.

Don't miss the chance to visit the San José underground river, Europe's longest navigable subterranean river, stretching 2.5 km. The caves, often called "the heart of the earth", are open for visits at 10:00.
