Step away from the city and into the ancient past. Your adventure begins in Chelva, a town that serves as a living museum of Mediterranean history.

The Roman Masterpiece:
The star of the show is the Peña Cortada Roman Aqueduct. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this engineering feat remains in remarkable condition. You won’t just look at it—you’ll experience it. Walk through tunnels carved directly into the mountain and feel the thrill of crossing the main bridge high above the valley floor.

Nature & The Water Path:
We continue along the Ruta del Agua, a trail that becomes a riot of colour in autumn. As we follow the winding creeks and shaded forest paths, you’ll discover the ingenious ways ancient civilisations harnessed water, passing through tunnels with “windows” that offer unique photo opportunities of the Valencian wilderness.

A Crossroads of Cultures:
Beyond the trail, we immerse ourselves in the soul of Chelva. As a private group, we’ll take the time to wander the narrow, winding streets of the Benacacira (Arab Quarter) and visit the oldest mosque in Valencian Community. You’ll learn how Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived side-by-side, leaving behind a rich architectural legacy of medieval arches and 18th-century tiled facades.
