This area is the heart of El Chorro, characterised by its proximity to the natural attractions that draw visitors.

The best time to go to El Chorro is during the dry season, which typically runs from June to September.


This period offers consistently clear skies and comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the natural beauty of the region. The trails are less muddy, and the waterfalls, while still impressive, are not as overwhelming as during the peak rainy season. This allows for better access and more enjoyable experiences around the main El Chorro waterfall and other natural attractions.


Couples looking for an active and adventurous holiday will find this season superb for exploring the many hiking trails and natural pools without the disruption of heavy rain. The drier weather also makes it easier to enjoy the scenic vistas and wildlife spotting.


Families travelling with children will also appreciate the dry season. The stable weather conditions mean fewer interruptions to planned excursions and more comfortable outdoor play.
