Cueva Turche

You can drive to the Cueva Turche car park. From Valencia, you can also go by train or bus to Buñol and from there go on foot.

How to get to Buñol

By car from Valencia, you must take the A3. Before reaching Buñol, take the CV-425 for about 2 km. This takes you to La Hoya de Buñol street, where you can usually park easily.
From Valencia, you can also take a train (1h 6 min) or bus (55 min) that takes you to Buñol.

How to get to Cueva Turche

By car, the easiest way is to get there by the CV-425, where you will see a sign indicating the detour to Cueva Turche. Take this detour and park in the new car park (see the ‘Parking’ section below).
From there you can only walk, and it’s about 500 m to Cueva Turche. You can also park in the south of the town of Buñol (on Calle La Hoya) and walk (1 km). There are also routes from the village of Yátova to the Turche Cave.

Due to the saturation of the site and complaints from neighbours, since 2019 there is a new car park near Cueva Turche. It costs €5 for the whole day (from 9 am to 9 pm) and €3 from 5 pm to 9 pm. It has limited capacity and it’s surveyed. It’s closed on Mondays. The car park is a 6-min walk from the Cueva Turche.
Many visitors to Cueva Turche Cave have been fined in the past for not parking correctly. Use the new parking to avoid a fine!

You can also park in the surrounding villages and take a route from there.

Swimming in the natural pool and waterfall
Hiking
Picnic

It’s forbidden to make fires, litter, and park in non-authorized areas.

Avoid carrying coolers (and chairs, hammocks, tables) and playing loud music.

Remember that soap and detergents should not be used in rivers and pools.
Also, most sun creams contaminate the water, try to apply them well before taking a dip.

(Scientists have discovered that sunscreen releases significant amounts of titanium dioxide, which damages aquatic life. Soaps have phosphates, are also non-biodegradable and harm the environment).

Things to do near Cueva Turche

Don’t miss the Cueva Turche viewpoint! It’s reached by the road that goes to the left of the cave. You’ll see the pool of Cueva Turche, the countryside and Buñol in the distance.

About 250 m from Cueva Turche in the direction of Charco Mañán, there is a small blue crystalline pool with no name. It’s full of friendly fish that won’t take their eyes off you!

Charco Mañán is halfway between Cueva Turche and Cueva de Las Palomas. This pool is quite deep. When we went there the water was a bit stagnant and not inviting for a swim. Yet, it was still beautiful. To get to Charco Mañán from Cueva Turche you’ll pass several nice small pools in the river Juanes.

Following the course of Juanes river for 700m, you’ll arrive at the Cueva de Las Palomas. It’s a small waterfall and pool that plunges in front of a cave. It’s smaller than the waterfall and pool of Cueva Turche, yet fantastic.

The route ‘Ruta del Agua‘ is well known and takes you through Cueva Turche, Cueva de Las Palomas, Charco Mañán and other natural pools.

Buñol Fluvial Park has a pleasant path bordering the river. It passes near a gorgeous natural pool in the middle of the city. It’s called Charco Maravilla but it’s not signposted and difficult to find. Ask locals or check our link, and you should get there.

The Mill Route (‘Ruta de los Molinos’), near Alborache, is also worthwhile. It follows a path bordering the river and some old mills (many in ruins).
