토렐라구나 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

A place of spectacular landscapes.

This was a very steep route with many vertical sections. My two little doggies looked at me like I was crazy.

A **giant kettle** is an erosional cavity, roughly cylindrical or pit-shaped, found in the beds of some rivers, especially in areas of hard rock such as granite. **How does it form?** 1. **Irregularities:** The process begins with small irregularities or hollows in the rock surface of the riverbed. 2. **Abrasion:** The water current traps pebbles, sand, and other hard sediments. The swirling motion of the current causes these materials to act as drilling tools, eroding and deepening the initial hollow through abrasion. 3. **Deepening:** Over time, the cavity grows larger and deeper, acquiring its characteristic "kettle" or "pot" shape. The fragments broken off from the parent rock contribute to this erosive process. **Characteristics:** * They are typically found in the upper reaches of rivers, where the current has greater velocity and energy. * The rock in which they form is usually hard and durable, such as granite or sandstone. * Their size can vary from a few centimeters to several meters in diameter and depth. * They often form in groups along the riverbed. * When the river slows or dries up, the potholes are exposed, revealing their smooth, rounded walls.

This small cross takes you to the convent, and then to the big climb of Cancho Gordo. How cool is that climb?

I love this little favorite, after climbing this steep slope

I never tire of going up to see the views

Breathing from the technical and vertical descent. How fun it is to go down here. But a photo, you have to take it.

Irregular shapes, resembling fingers. I stop to rest before climbing Cancho Gordo, having worked my legs out on the way up. But I'm proud to climb them and see them. They're so beautiful, my goodness! 💓
