Route GR 10 - Valle del Jerte

The Jerte section of the GR10 goes through two important natural passages with millennia- old tradition in the passage of persons, animals and goods. From Castilla, you go deep into the heart of the valley to tour, next to the river of the same name, a variety of landscapes containing cherry tree terraces and dynamic towns, until you go up Las Honduras ravine and access Honduras Port.

The Valle del Jerte section begins at Cordel del Valle in Tornavacas Port. We cross Tornavacas to continue along the PR-CC 1 Carlos V Route and PR-CC 2 Cherry Blossom Route that advance amid meadows and farmland as far as the entrance to the Garganta de los Infiernos Natural Reserve, where the GR heads towards Jerte, which we will skirt around to get to the reception of the natural reserve, where the Interpretive Centre can be found along with a camp site and children’s campsite. From there to Los Arenales and after crossing Los Buitres ravine, we return to Cordel del Valle as far as Cabezuela del Valle. Here the trails starts ascending to Honduras Port along a road with a steep slope that is the start of the old muleteer route to Valle del Ambroz. It fully coincides with the PR-CC 10 (Las Juderías Route), which leads to Gargantilla, and partially coincides with the SL-CC 22 (Convent Route). It goes up Valle de Honduras along a track at the start and a trail in its high part, crossing the pretty Garganta Honda bridge and going up the hillside amid oak trees. High up, it goes through a gate and after passing a house, the track we are taking leads us to Honduras Port, where the Jerte section of this trail ends.
