Your Itinerary

Sierra Nevada

Sierra Nevada, or Sulayr, Mountain of the Sun as it was called by the Muslims, rises up between the provinces of Granada and Almeria like a giant and compact massif with fifteen peaks of over 3,000 metres, including the Mulhacén (3,482 metres), the highest point on the Iberian Peninsula. After being collected from your accommodation in Granada, you will be driven to 2,500 meters above sea level to the top of the Sierra Nevada Road. From here you will head to the most beautiful glacier valley of Sierra Nevada, San Juan Valley. Here you will learn how the ice has been excavating the rocks throughout thousand of years. You will also encounter beautiful lakes, waterfalls, and shiny rocks, as well as wildlife such as mountain goats, eagles, birds migrating from Africa, and insects and plants that only exist here.

Jaime (along with his gorgeous dog Kai) was a fantastic guide! The hike was slightly challenging at points but well worth it for the views at the summit. 10/10 would highly recommend, thanks Jaime!

I went on the hike for my 30th birthday. I always like to go somewhere with nice landscape and have an opportunity to meet other travellers. The views were breathtaking, but what made the trip even better was Jaime our tour guide and his dog, Kai. Jaime gave excellent local information and is an experienced hiker. He also took photos for us. Thank you Jaime and Kai. I highly recommend this trip!

A great way to spend a day exploring the Sierra Nevada. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Jamie and his team were excellent taking us on a hike we would have never managed to find or conduct ourselves. His trusty adorable dog Kai was the perfect co-navigator and source of much entertainment. It's a moderate hike and there were different abilities in the group but Jamie ensured that the pace was right for everyone and no-one was left straggling behind. His knowledge of the local plant and wildlife coupled with the history of the Sierra Nevada was second to none.

I recently had the pleasure of taking a guided tour through the Sierra Nevada, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! The tour was incredibly well-organized and our guide was both knowledgeable and friendly, providing fascinating insights into the region's history, geology, and wildlife. Would totally recommend it for anyone visiting the area!

A great contrast activity to our days in the city. The hike was not easy but we went at a pace that meant we could all keep up. Beautiful scenery, stunning mountains. Jaime is a great guide, really friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend

The hike up the Sierra Nevada was truly breathtaking! The guide, Jaime, was fantastic and made sure we were well prepared with walking poles, gloves, fleece etc. He is also a fantastic person, very friendly and willing to share his experience and expert knowledge of these incredible mountains. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he is happy to answer. I learnt so much from him. His dog Kye, is the star of the show! Ensure you bring sunglasses, hat, sun cream - it is not to be underestimated how exposed you are to the sun, and depending on the day, also the wind. Take some water and snacks for energy, at the return location, there is time for food and drinks if you want. Thank you Jaime!

Great hike with Jaime, his dog, and fellow travelers. It was steep and long but well worth the effort!

We had an increíble experience with Jaime showing us the most astonishing landscape in Sierra Nevada mountains. Just walk, breathe and smell the pure air was relaxing and refreshing from the routine life. GREAT in all senses.

Wonderful hikig experience. We really enjoyed the day. It is not difficult, the wiews are impressive and the guide is kind and helpful, he knows the area so well and is always willing to explain anything and adapt the pace to the different people there. His dog, Kai, is a essential part of the tour, always taking care of everyone, like the best shepherd!

Our hike with Jaime and Kai was amazing! Right from the pick up location, we knew we were in good hands. On the ride over, we were immersed in Granada history. Arriving at the starting location, Jaime provided all hikers with extra layers, which were necessary for our middle of April hike. The hike itself was a perfect pace for experienced yet out of season hikers. And the views made the experience well worth the climb. His knowledge and love for the mountains were beyond infectious. A must do for the outdoorsy tourist!
