Image of Truchas, not of the place itself.

Decree 192/1990, of 11 October, declared the lake of Truchillas and its surroundings a natural monument, in the municipality of Truchas, for the value of its glacial modelling. Located in the lower part of the Eria valley, presided over by the Vizcodillo peak - which reaches 2,121 metres at the boundary with the province of Zamora - the protected area preserves close to a dozen well-developed glacial cirques and fine examples of lateral and frontal moraines in the vicinity of Vizcodillo itself.
