How to get there by car: From Javea, drive to Pedreguer, then Orba. From Orba take the CV-715 towards Pego. The road passes through a narrow gorge in the mountains then the landscape opens up on the right. About 2 kms after leaving the gorge, look out for a sharp turning left on the apex of a left bend (easy to miss!). Take this road which is the CV-712 to Vall de Ebo. The road winds up over the mountains of the Sierra del Mediodia. Just over the pass at the top there is a pull-in viewing area with views of the Barranco del Infierno. Drive down into the valley of Ebo and the village at the bottom, cross the bridge and almost immediately turn left onto a road which runs parallel to the river. Continue on this unsurfaced road for abou 500 metres and park under poplar trees next to the sewage works on your right.
