From Calpe, Javea & Denia- Discover the 3 Waterfalls of Anna

If you’re after a day full of scenic beauty, fresh air, and memorable adventures, the tour to the Three Waterfalls of Anna in Valencia’s countryside is a must. While I haven’t personally taken this trip, the detailed reviews and itinerary paint a vivid picture of a fun, authentic experience that combines natural wonder with a bit of adrenaline and relaxation.

What I love about this tour is how it promises stunning views at every turn, the small group size that ensures a tailored experience, and the opportunity to swim and dive in cristal-clear pools—something you won’t find on every day-trip itinerary. The only thing to consider is that the terrain can be quite rocky and slippery, so sturdy shoes are essential. This trip is best suited for active travelers who want to connect with nature, aren’t afraid of some light hiking, and enjoy spontaneous jumps into cool waters.

The journey starts with Gorgo Gaspar, usually the most tranquil spot. Its peaceful pool, surrounded by rocks and greenery, makes it a wonderful place to start your water adventure. Here, you can soak in the peaceful atmosphere or take a quick dip.

Next, you’ll visit Cascada de los Vikingos, known for its dramatic cascade and striking setting. It’s a favorite for relaxing in the pools beneath the waterfall and soaking up the scenery.

The Itinerary Breakdown: What to Expect

The guided tour here is around 10 minutes, enough to soak in the scenery and get your bearings. Subsequent walks to the other waterfalls are similarly short, but the terrain is rocky and sometimes slippery, so water shoes or trainers with good grip are recommended.

Reviewers have praised the well-organized timing and the guide’s knowledge, with one noting that the guide, Jay, was particularly attentive, taking great photos and ensuring everyone felt comfortable.
