The second day begins by visiting the Manjavacas Natural Reserve, in La Mancha de Cuenca, made up of several lagoons and an essential point in the migratory transit of birds between North Africa and the ornithological stations in southern Europe. In other times of better water supply, some 40,000 birds of different species visit the reserve. The lagoon complex is also an important wintering and nesting ecosystem. On the shallow banks it is easy to see spoonbills and flamingos. The detour to the Manjavacas lagoon appears after passing through the Alcahozo lagoon, which is still in the municipality of Pedro Muñoz, it is a loop of the main itinerary to tour the shore of the wetland and pass by several observatories, one is at the end of a pedestrian walkway built over the reed beds and marsh surroundings near the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Antigua de Manjavacas, where there is an elevated pagoda-type viewpoint. The path runs through the curious steppe where the Sánchez Gómez and Dehesilla lagoons are located, connects with the main itinerary and continues the gravel trip through the town of Las Mesas. The itinerary of the La Mancha Wetlands Natural Trail has practically finished, there are a few kilometers left indicated with the usual red posts to the Taray lagoon and then the follow-up is the digital track, marked on the rural roads of the agricultural fields of Las Pedroñeras , the “garlic capital” and one of the most notable towns in La Mancha de Cuenca.
