Hiking Balastar River
Faraján · Nature & walking

With two enchanting waterfalls cascading down a landscape that belongs in fairy tales, with endless views of green-covered mountains and colorful butterflies flitting from one fruit tree to another. Plums, figs, pomegranates, loquats, blackberries and more.
This route is followed by the Balastar River, the route is well marked but not very long. The scenery is beautiful and the waterfalls are otherworldly.
By car, it is easy to reach the village and there is parking along the streets with a few minute’s walking to the main square where the town hall is. There, you will find signs to the hike.
Generally, the best time to see the waterfalls full is between late winter and late spring after the winter rain. In the spring, there will also be a colorful flowery scene compared to any other time of the year.
