Located in the charming and quiet town of Guijo de Santa Bárbara, Charco del Trabuquete is a simple, although somewhat demanding, route that runs through the Jaranda Gorge. A route dotted with cliffs and cliffs through which streams and river gorges with crystal-clear waters flow. It is undoubtedly a natural environment of great beauty nestled between the Sierra de Gredos and the Sierra de Tormantos.

The Devil's Waterfall is a spectacular waterfall formed by the Gualtaminos Gorge on the way to the Tiétar River. The white water from the Sierra de Gredos makes its way through the rocks. It goes downhill on an asphalt path for about 150 meters. There you reach the viewpoint for the waterfall, where there is a sign. You can get very close to the waterfall via a circular staircase. The Devil's Waterfall is about 30 meters long and reaches a height of up to 70 meters. The tour is only short but recommended

From the small town of Navamediana and along an old cobbled path, the path leads us along the gorge to the high mountain of Gredos. The first section of the path runs through an oak forest. The sound of jays and other small birds accompany us. The sound of the water becomes more intense as we approach the bed of the gorge. We feel the freshness of the riverside vegetation and ascending the left bank we trace the course of the river guided by the sound of the water. THE intense smell of cantuesos and thyme will follow us for much of the way if we choose spring to take this route. At the highest part, a grove of aspen and later birch trees outline the gorge. Higher up the sound of the water becomes more intense, the water runs capriciously, jumping and drawing numerous waterfalls that will delight the walker. The path ascends with a steeper slope between large stones to overcome the threshold and lead us to the end of our route, returning us to tranquility and silence at this point.

This impressive granite canyon offers incredible views of the rock formations along the course of the river. There are several waterfalls that fall at different heights and form pools of crystal clear water. This section is, for the most part, an adapted stone walkway that zigzags along the gorge. However, there are also parts of loose stones.
