Waterways
Valle del Jerte is the valley of water. The union between valley and river is such that they even came to share the same name. The river was born at the top of the valley next to Tornavacas Port; humble origins for a true force of nature that sustains the life of this district. The valley and river cannot be understood without the network of creeks and ravines that feed them, forming a water system of transparent blood that circulates the valley below looking for a path between imposing rock walls. This millennia old struggle has formed a network of intricate labyrinths that hide a handful of unique geographic spaces: the ravines of Valle del Jerte, true geological and environmental treasures. To approach this path of water and rock is to approach the very heart and history of this valley at the foot of the Gredos sierra; a journey that leads us to corners where natural beauty is shown in all its splendour.
Waterways - Las Nogaleas
NAVACONCEJO
Trail SL-CC 33 that passes through Nogaleas ravine lets us admire numerous waterfalls in a wild, leafy spot and is a true spectacle for the senses. Large waterfalls with several branches and a heavy drop amid thick typical gallery forest vegetation with black poplars, ash trees and sycamores, along with oak, chestnut and cherry trees grown on steep terraces. Good times for enjoying these waterfalls are autumn, winter and spring, when the water flow is more abundant. In the high section, a walkway allows us to cross the water course and approach one of its waterfalls to see it close up.
