  • A beautiful place where nature over thousands of years has sculpted the layout of the river between steep walls. Where you can enjoy wildlife in the wild. The whole tour, whether walking or by boat...

  • Spectacular canyons with breathtaking views of the meandring river Durantón from up top. Arrive at Burgomillodo and leave the car in the parking of the restaurant by the outfall of the reservoir. Cross the bridge towards the Factory and follow the earthed path upwards that will lead you to the beginning of the trek. Following the trek you'll end up on the plateau from where you can enjoy some amazing sights. You can keep following the serpentine route of the canyon and reach a point from where Ermita de San Frutos is viewed. The trek can be continued onwards and you'll see some ruins along the way which I guess are the remains of cattle shelters made by the locals. The difficulty level of the trek is low.
  • The place worths the walk. Better visiting in the fall as in the summer is tooo hot to get the church. Full of a variety of flowers and plants for biology lovers. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water with you!
