    Built around 130 AD, this dam was used to supply water to the ancient Roman city of Augusta Emerita. The reservoir and its surroundings were declared a natural park in 2004, making it an ideal destination for nature and history lovers.

    The Cornalvo Dam is an impressive Roman engineering work located about 15 km from Mérida. Built in the 1st century AD, this dam is still in use today and is part of the Cornalvo Natural Park.
    The reservoir is an ideal place to enjoy nature and explore Roman history.

    Hiking

    One of the attractions of the Cornalvo Natural Park is the homonymous reservoir that is very close to the town on the A-5 highway and is easily reached from Trujillo or San Pedro de Mérida. A place that deserves to visit and to which you can turn completely around a picturesque path.
