PR-CV 203 RIO GRANDE - ABRIGO DE VORO

Promoter: Asociación Macizo del Caroig

Certification status: Conditioned quality control

2 reviews

Following the inspection carried out by trail technicians, this trail has been declared of "limited adequacy" as a result of the faults detected in the signage. These include inadequate horizontal signs (paint markers) and/or vertical ones (trailheads and information boards) or lacking direction markers that do not provide sufficient information to properly follow the route. The builder of this trail has been informed of the situation.
For safety reasons and during maintenance work, it is advised to be extremely careful while taking this route. Furthermore, mountain sports entail risks associated with the activity itself and the environment where they take place, for which any person is fully liable. For this reason, hikes need to be planned properly and adequate training, equipment and sensible use of the trails are required.

The Caroig Massif remains an emblematic and solitary place, with its flora, fauna, gorges, history, and Levantine rock art. This trail, following the Río Grande, will take us to the Voro rock shelter to visit its cave paintings.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Desde el aparcamiento de los Charcos de Quesa subimos por un camino entre diseminados. Dejamos a nuestros pies los conocidos Charcos para remontar el río Grande, ahora por senda. Pasamos por la cueva del Carbo, un antiguo corral protegido por una balma.

Un poco más adelante la senda baja hasta el río. Enfrente encontramos la fuente de la Víbora. El sendero cruza de un lado a otro del cauce recortando los meandros y buscando los márgenes altos del cauce. En ocasiones, las paredes no permiten otra cosa que caminar por el lecho de grava siempre remontando el río Grande.

Hay que estar atentos para subir por una senda a la derecha, muy bien trazada hasta la parte alta de los cinglos donde encontramos el abrigo de Voro (arte rupestre Levantino). Poco más arriba, el sendero sale a un camino más ancho que tomamos a la derecha siguiendo la loma divisoria nos conduce a la parte alta. Pasamos por la sima de la Higuera hasta el collado del Lobo. Ahora, giramos a la derecha por el camino del Planil, mucho más ancho y que ya no dejaremos. A la altura de la casa de Marcos el PR-CV 205 sale a la izquierda hacia el Benefetal. Seguimos la pista. Más adelante el firme de tierra deja paso al asfalto. En el cruce con la carretera de entrada a los Charcos bajamos por esta hasta el inicio del sendero. Pocos metros antes de llegar, a la altura del charco de la Horteta, el PR-CV 204 sale por la izquierda hacia Quesa.
