Top 4 Waterfalls in Sierra De Las Nieves

The Horcajuelos waterfall is the least known of all the large waterfalls you will see in this area, but its 40-meter drop makes it difficult to ignore. Unlike the Charco de la Virgen, you don't need to detour to see it: the trail itself puts it right in front of you. The gorge that feeds it is also a favorite of those who practice canyoning in the area.

El Salto de la Rejía is the highest natural waterfall in the province of Málaga. It is not a single drop but three chained falls that cascade over the rocks. The best time to visit is autumn or spring, when the flow is at its peak. In summer the water dwindles considerably, although the surroundings are still worth a visit. A tip: approach the viewpoint on the trail before descending to the base, from above you get the most complete perspective of the three falls at once.

El Charco de la Virgen is a natural pool fed by an 18-meter waterfall in the bed of the río de los Caballos river. To reach the last section, you have to enter the riverbed itself and advance by jumping between rocks. In summer it is a very popular destination for swimming, although it should be noted that the place is shady and the water remains cold almost all year round. If the summer has been dry, the flow may be disappointing: the best time to see it with its full force is spring.

Also this year (2025) well maintained, although no summit is ever climbed: really impressive route, it never gets boring but: not entirely without effort, always up, then down...let your gaze wander...past waterfalls, climb over streams...it's worth it!

A wonderful, well-maintained path - although not easy - leads about 10 km from the town of Tolox to 3 waterfalls with great views - sometimes even to Torrecilla - "the highest" of the Sierra de las Nieves.

Another of the beautiful jumps on the path of the waterfalls from Tolox. An ideal place to cool off in the summer months.

Ideal to take a bath and cool off a bit.

Beautiful small waterfall. It is not so much water during the autumn and water can be really cold.
