A curious place where the collapse of the side cliffs, as a consequence of the Lisbon earthquake, closed the Tagus River for several days, interrupting the flow of water. Today, there are still a large number of huge rocks at the bottom of the Tagus. It is worth visiting.

The entrance to the summit is spectacular, it is the geographical ceiling of the Alcarria and the views are magnificent, practically the entire Alcarria Alta, the Serranía de Guadalajara, the Sierra de Ayllón, the popular Ocejón and the Sierra de Guadarrama. And the towns of Viana de Mondéjar and La Puerta from a bird's eye view. The summit plain has a circular path around the summit that may be covered in grass, although it can be seen in the terrain. A good vantage point is the north side, with views of the Elongated Tit. Around the perimeter there are some wooden sticks that can be confused with trail signs. In reality, they indicate the limit of the danger zone. To avoid approaching the cliffs, the path runs a few meters inside.

Trillo is a stately town in Alcarria de Guadalajara on the banks of the Tagus River that has become a center for active tourism and adventure sports. It has a spa, a beautiful medieval bridge, ancestral houses of the old rural bourgeoisie, pleasant river walks and several waterfalls in the center of the urban complex created by the torrent of the Cifuentes River. And it is a stage of the Camino de Santiago of the Ruta de la Lana and in one of the houses there is a plaque remembering where Camilo José Cela stayed during his famous Trip to Alcarria. In the surrounding area there are different types of signposted mountain biking and hiking routes, one of the most popular mountain walks is the local SL-1 Tetas de Viana trail, marked with green and white signs. The route begins at the Gothic bridge of the Tagus River and goes up the Camino de Viana street to the motocross circuit facilities, a good slope to warm up and enter the hills of Mediterranean forest that direct the meanders of the Tagus River towards the lake. of the Entrepeñas reservoir.

The Tetas de Viana constitute an extraordinary place from a defensive point of view, which is why they have been inhabited since ancient times. At present they constitute a spectacular viewpoint of the surrounding landscape. From them you can see the beautiful surrounding towns, Trillo, Viana de Mondejar, and La Puerta (at the entrance to Rocas Castle).

The bridge is of medieval origin and already in the 16th century it attracted attention for having only one eye, very firm and of great beauty.

The Cifuentes River creates this beautiful waterfall as it passes through the town of Trillo. It is a luxury to have this spectacle of nature in the same urban area.
