Description of the route:

From the youth hostel 'Casa Iglesias' we start off in the direction of ' La Parroquia' where to about 500 metres approximately, we turn aside ourselves towards the forest track that will take until the crossing of 'La Hoya del Navajo'.

Leaving it to our right, we continue our route and we can contemplate an ample pine of pine with an underbrush dominated by ‘romero’, aliaga, steppe, esparto, juniper,’negrosabina’ hawthorn and lentisco. In addition we can distinguish coscojos and oaks. As we advance, from this situation we can enjoy a beautiful panoramic of the Mountain ' Sierra del Pericay and the 'Cambrón de Luchena'.

By a footpath we will descend to the 'Ojos de Luchena', where we can appreciate the affluence of water of the brook and numerous barbels in its volume. Related with the fauna we can find ‘arrui’, the common squirrel, the partridge and small typical birds of the Mediterranean forest.

Next, our route takes us by the ascending channel of the river until the marsh of Valdeinfierno. This part of the river is totally dry, but the section runs by an impressive place. The landscape is exceptionally escarped and rustic, with completely vertical cavities, pinnacles and walls of more than 100 metres of height. The humid zone is inhabited with typical plants of shore such as ‘tarays’, black poplars, reeds or brambles. The pulses also abound and other frequent plants like steppe, ‘romero’, brush or mosquera grass. The steep slopes are colonized mainly by black sabinas, lentiscos, and hawthorns.

Next to the marsh we observed ‘cojinos of nun’, arnacho and zamarilla. We accede to our destination by stairs with more than 250 steps.
