DATA OF INTEREST

DESCRIPTION

The route of this path is short in length, but very beautiful

Depending on the time of year in which we are there, we can observe a landscape where water is one of the protagonists. Several waterfalls can be seen as they emerge from the excess water contained in the reservoir and are pour into the so-called spillways. During the course of this hiking route, typical riverside vegetation such as eucalyptus or fig trees accompany the hiker, which gives much sought-after shade in the summer season.

A few million years ago the land it occupies was part of an ancient coastline. The sand of the old beaches, through various geological processes, became the characteristic rock of the area. In more recent times, with the retreat of the sea, the sandstone rock has been exposed to the whim of the wind and water, the oldest master sculptors on the planet, and which have eroded these materials giving rise to the characteristic forms that can be seen.

At the end of the trail, we reach an area where the presence of water continues to dominate. It is easy to find birds in this area, such as the cormorant, as it is an important nesting and dwelling place for rock ornithofauna.
