Cascada de la Caballo (Ponytail) is a beautiful waterfall that is relatively easy to reach via the valley path. That's why you have to expect a lot of people, especially on the weekends.

The waterfall is fed by the Río Arazas, which accompanies hikers throughout the gorge.

This 54-meter waterfall is the main protagonist of the Ordesa Valley, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. As it is a national park, bathing is completely prohibited and punishable. The restriction also applies to pets. This area is very busy in summer, as it is where most tourists go for day trips.
