The Hervidero Waterfall is a double waterfall on the Guadalix River, nestled in a rocky canyon and surrounded by riverside vegetation. It can be reached via a flat and easy 7 km (round trip) route starting from San Agustín del Guadalix, ideal for family hikes.

This large pine forest is located within the municipality of Canencia and is easily accessible via forest tracks from the Canencia Pass, coming from the south (Miraflores de la Sierra and Madrid) or from the north (Canencia in the Lozoya Valley). It can also be reached via a longer approach from the M-611 road through the Collado del Hontanar pass (1,731 m).

It is a good area for a quiet route without rushing... except for some sections with a lot of water where you have to walk.

In the Middle Ages, the inhabitants of Bustarviejo had to pay a “toll” of half a bushel to use this pass to carry grain to be ground at the water mills in the Lozoya Valley. Hence the name of this pass. From the pass we can see the Carpetanos Mountains of Somosierra, part of the Lozoya Valley and the entire Sierra Norte of Madrid.

Today it was overflowing with water. Very good place to spend the day.

At the end of the Medio Celemín pass we find this rock formation, with views of all the Cabrera cliffs. ideal to rest and take some photos

Of great beauty and easy to access (be careful, there are some winding stairs) they are one of these little-known corners of Madrid. In the bed of the Guadalix River and almost at the mouth of its spectacular canyon, the waterfall depends on the opening of the reservoir, upstream, which guarantees water flow practically all year round.
