| travel Description: | This first stage is approximately three kilometers, from the Ucero bridge over the river to the hermitage of San Bartolomé (or San Bartolo, who so call it). is the path traveled by tourists, but it would still be a beautiful spectacle, the limestone cliffs to join us for miles, start here with the slopes of lush pine trees and birds of prey, bonded griffon vultures and golden eagles, do not stop to fly. The shapes and colors of rocks spark our imagination. The river between cattails, watercress, reeds, water lilies, water lilies ... and it begins to show its varied flora. Also this section can do for the upper, from the top of the port Galiana, we can go for any of the marked trails. This alternative has the interest from it to observe the beautiful views of the areas referred to above, the most visited sections, that here we find different and impressive. We admire the plain of Ucero, always in splendor. It is a journey almost on one level to the precipice of the Covateilla; there, you can choose between two paths, cross straight (down and up) or continue to cross the creek, which already appears shortly after the shrine, down until it is quite pronounced, but if you follow the marked trails, you'll be fine. Original junipers surrounding the shrine. Facing Grande Cave behind the chapel, there is a small wooden bridge that will cross to start the second stage of about eight miles. The principle is comfortable thanks to the marked trails until you reach the spectacular punctured Colmenar rock wall called the Friars, later the walls are still with us, some of them to the river, causing it to narrow its course. Later we will have to ford the river several times, one at the confluence of the stream of the river Valderrueda Lobos. From here the canyon narrows again and the walls are most impressive, if possible. I will greet the vultures that live in the huge holes in the rocks. In the area of \u200b\u200bRincon de la Fuente is a large rocky dome and access you will find well signposted on the hillside, is the entrance to the Cueva Negra. We follow the path down again the river and continue along the riverside to the Las Fuentes. The gun makes its way through dense masses of black pine. The path now becomes a winding track crosses the river several times. The Bridge of the Seven Eyes welcomes us to the end of our route. From here, the canyon narrows even more and soon after us into the province of Burgos. This part of the Canyon, part of Burgos, is less visited but no less beautiful and has the attraction of being less busy. To return it is best to retrace, it went. Another solution is to have a support vehicle and return by road. This page find more routes within the river canyon wolves. |
