We'll drive to Güéjar Sierra and our starting and finishing point will be at an
altitude of 2,088 m.  The first part of the route will lead us to Peña Partida shelter (2 hrs.). From here you will have a privileged view of all the Sierra Nevada peaks. Then we keep ascending until we reach the entrance of the headwaters of the Lavaderos de la Reina.

In this area, you'll discover an idyllic landscape made up of waterfalls and small lakes. We'll have lunch at the lowest part of this glacial valley. We will spend two hours in the lower part, visiting the area, eating and contemplating this stunning scenery. We'll then take the route back to the Peña Partida shelter.
