알토 타조‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 폭포

This is a tuffaceous rock (travertine) in the process of active formation, the result of constant contact between calcareous water and the surrounding rocks. Rainwater dissolves the limestone rocks predominating in the area. Upon emergence, carbon dioxide is released and calcium carbonate precipitates, forming layers of travertine. This process also creates grottos, cavities, and small caves.

Access to the starting point is via the forest track that begins one kilometer before reaching the San Pedro Bridge, descending from the village of Zaorejas. Then, continue another kilometer along the dirt road to the bend where the Escaleruela waterfall is located, right in the environmental area of the Alto Tajo Natural Park. The best time to visit the waterfall is in spring due to the high water level, the streams are full of water, and the humidity keeps the natural ecosystems at their most vibrant. The route climbs to the right of the waterfall, following a trail marked with milestones for a variant of the GR-113 Tajo Natural Path toward the mountain village of Zaorejas through the Ciño Negro ravine. The main route follows the forest track between Poveda de la Sierra and Villar de Cobeta. The path is carved into the tuff edifice that forms the waterfall block; it has passageways and alleys created by rainwater dissolving the calcium carbonate in the rocks. The path is beautiful; at the top of the tuffaceous block, another waterfall appears over the steps of the path and offers spectacular views of the Ciño Negro towers.

At Salto de Poveda, go down to the bottom, sit down and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the sound of the water falling into its waterfall.

It is a tuff in formation with the dripping of the waters of the Gil de Torres River, (also called Genitoris). It has several waterfalls and there are also caves that can be visited. It has information signs and a boardwalk to visit the surroundings.

Any area of the Tagus is good for swimming, but right under the Poveda Waterfall turns out to be a very special and unforgettable place.
