Canyoning + Hiking the White Villages

This is a really impressive route full of beauty and where you will know a large part of our Andalusian culture.

We start the tour at the source of the river Molino and, following the old Moorish irrigation channels, we will go to the white village of Istán passing through a beautiful cork oak forest, one of the most emblematic trees of Andalusia. We will arrive at the white village of Istán where the irrigation channels become fountains and the water takes even more prominence. After crossing the village we go to the area of the orchards and the old flour mills, and there we will draw a beautiful hiking route through the orchards and terraces, the irrigation channels, the old threshing floors and a panoramic view of the white village of Istán and its great reservoir of the Conception.

We will return to the village to visit the central square, its church and there we will make the most important stop to taste the typical Andalusian tapas of the white villages of Andalusia.

A highly recommended route!

We offer you in this adventure pack one of the most desired challenges for the nature and mountain lovers who visit the city of Marbella; to ascend to the peak of La Concha, the most popular and coveted trekking route in Sierra Blanca, symbol of the city of Marbella.

To reach the peak of La Concha we start our journey in the area of the forests of Juanar. There we will cross numerous forests full of beauty and biodiversity (different pine forests, eucalyptus, olive and chestnut trees…). After about 40 minutes of walking in the shade and scents of the trees, we will start our first ascent to the main ridge of Sierra Blanca. From there we will already be able to see the entire coast of Málaga, La Gaditana and, on sunny days, Gibraltar and Africa. Once on this ridge we will head towards ‘El Salto del Lobo’, passing through the foothills of Lastomar and crossing an exposed but secure area with chains. After about 3h30 of effort we will reach the peak of La Concha where we will enjoy the most impressive panoramic views of Eastern Andalusia.

In summer we will make this famous climb to the peak of La Concha at sunset to return in moonlight or with headlamps to the starting point when the temperatures are optimal for hiking. At any other time of the year it can be done whenever you wish.

Winter schedule: 9.30am-14.00pm
