Waterfall of Horcajo

Nature · Horcajo de los Montes, Montes de Ciudad Real, Ciudad Real

The Chorrera de Horcajo is a twelve-metre waterfall located in the municipal area of Horcajo de los Montes, on the southern face of the Montes de Toledo, within the area of influence of the Cabañeros national park. It has been declared a Protected Landscape by the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha since 6 May 2003. The waterfall lies in an area of Mediterranean woodland dominated by rockrose and holm oaks, while the wetland created by the surrounding rocky area allows for the presence of holly, birch and fern. It is reached by a paved track from the municipality to a picnic area and car park, from which a path sets off following the course of the river, with a total round-trip route of 6.5 kilometres; a wooden platform allows the surroundings to be observed without disturbing them.
