Hoces del Río Duratón Natural Park

Spectacular canyons with breathtaking views of the meandring river Durantón from up top. Arrive at Burgomillodo and leave the car in the parking of the restaurant by the outfall of the reservoir. Cross the bridge towards the Factory and follow the earthed path upwards that will lead you to the beginning of the trek. Following the trek you'll end up on the plateau from where you can enjoy some amazing sights. You can keep following the serpentine route of the canyon and reach a point from where Ermita de San Frutos is viewed. The trek can be continued onwards and you'll see some ruins along the way which I guess are the remains of cattle shelters made by the locals. The difficulty level of the trek is low.

The place worths the walk. Better visiting in the fall as in the summer is tooo hot to get the church. Full of a variety of flowers and plants for biology lovers. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water with you!

This has to be one of the most spectacular views in Spain. So dramatic, and if you are lucky enough to see the vultures close up then truly awe-inspiring.

Some of the best scenery I have ever come across. Great views and loads of vultures can be seen without too much walking when all the kids are brought along.

Spetacular place near Sepulveda. There are day trips of hiking from Madrid.

Beautiful scenery and canyons overlooking tranquil waters. Loads of wildlife including the elusive Griffin vulture.

Super pretty! After driving a path were you must be patient...The views are breathtaking!

Spectacular views!

A spectacular gorge and river running through this beautiful natural park. Lots of trails for walking which take you up and close to the vultures which nest on the cliff tops. Also great for picnics alongside the river in spring and summer.

Wonderful place to do a kayak tour. The is home to thousands of vultures with wingspans of up to 2 meters. The hermitage of San Fructo can be admired from below. Also good place to take a dip in the summer.

One of the most beautiful places you can find in the peninsula. Do not miss the chance to visit them from the very bottom booking one of the kayak guides offered in the surroundings (Fuenterrebollo, Sebulcor or Cantalejo)

Amazing natural park with lots of vultures nesting on the cliffs. We did a canoe route with a local guide (in Spanish only) that was just amazing.

There is a great walk between the Puente Talcano and the Puente de Villaseca. The walk there and back is 20km. It's a beautiful walk, mostly shady, which follows the river.

A really breathtaking landscape near Segovia where you can see a lot of birds like the vultures.

Amazing, fantastic place to see vultures and walk around. Next day a take a canoe through the river.

Beautiful place to visit, wonderful place to watch, walk, breathe and enjoy it

Amazing place with plenty of wildlife to see, great photo opportunities.

13 summers in a row I've been here. The vultures are somehow majestic.

Canoeing through the gorge made a great morning excursion.

Beautiful area to explore and hike
