Salto de Chella
The Sellent river drops 25 m at the edge of Chella, the tallest falls in the county, with a riverside path, an old power station and a pool at its foot.
The Salto de Chella is a 25 m waterfall at the edge of Chella: the Sellent river drops here, the tallest waterfall in La Canal de Navarrés. A riverside path starts at the La Fuente park in the village and passes the old power station and a dripping cave before reaching the pool at the foot of the falls.
The walk
The signed walk takes under an hour there and back, about 25 minutes each way, so it suits almost any visitor. The town centre lies only about 0.4 km away, which makes the Salto an easy half-day stop. Flow varies with the season, with spring bringing the strongest water and summer the best conditions for bathing.
Swimming and safety
Bathing is allowed in the pool at the foot of the falls. The rocks beside the water stay damp and slippery, so wear footwear with grip and keep to the signed areas. You need a car to reach Chella. The day pairs well with nearby Navarrés, and waterfall fans can continue to Los Chorradores on another outing.
