Tips

There are two bathing areas at the end of the "Sendero del Charco del Canalón" hiking trail. The first is a bit shallower and also suitable for children, but the bottom is very muddy and the otherwise crystal-clear water quickly becomes cloudy. The second bathing area is very deep and has steep cliffs on the sides, so it is only suitable for experienced swimmers.
At the end of the second swimming area, a beautiful waterfall comes out of the rock on the right. Although it is not a natural waterfall, but a leak in the open water pipe running over it, this does not detract from its beauty. Depending on the water level, you can swim under the waterfall, climb over a few rocks and then hike a little further through the river. But even here you have to swim in some places.

Beautiful small waterfall. It is not so much water during the autumn and water can be really cold.
