Frequently asked questions
Is Río Chíllar dangerous when it rains?
Yes. With heavy rain or storms in the mountains the flow rises fast and the narrow section (the cahorros) is tight. If AEMET has a warning or rain is likely, leave the trail for another day.
What time is best for the Chíllar trail?
In summer, start early to avoid the heat on the first stretch and the crowds; inside the gorge it is cool. Today's best slot is shown above.
