Meancera Waterfall hiking route

This route is short and intense, but with a reward at the end in the form of a waterfall around 100 metres tall which falls into the void over the mountainside. The trail goes along rivers and streams, mountain ranges and villages of unparalleled beauty.

El Chorritero route

This is another of the most spectacular routes in Las Hurdes, with access from the village of Ovejuela. At the end of the path, the lovely waterfall offers an unforgettable picture-postcard image at any time of year, where one can even take a refreshing dip in summer.

"Charco de la Olla" natural swimming pool

It is located one kilometre from our Hospedería, where the rivers Batuecas and Ladrillar converge. In summer, it becomes a natural swimming pool for this tiny village, and has the services necessary to enjoy a splendid day of bathing.
