The best natural pools in Cuenca

This Friday for many the desired Easter holidays begin. Surely many of you are embarking on a trip to the coast and you will have packed your swimsuits in your suitcase. But be careful because if you stay in Cuenca you will also need swimsuits, and not because we travel back in time to the Oligocene, but because within the province of Cuenca we find the best natural beaches, rivers, pools with crystal clear waters or reservoirs that are places where we can bathe relaxed in the middle of nature, and if you still don't feel like taking a bath, what is guaranteed is visiting natural places of great beauty.

 

Take note because these are the top 5 of the best places to cool off in Cuenca:

• Chorreras de Enguídanos. Surely you have the image in mind of these turquoise waterfalls that descend through the Cabriel gorges. In this corner, the Cabriel River meanders between imposing rock walls, creating a sequence of jumps and waterfalls that flow into several pools of crystalline water. They are like natural pools, and if the weather is good they invite you to a relaxing bath. If you are looking for strong emotions and a swim surrounded by spectacular landscapes, Las Chorreras de Enguídanos is your ideal destination.

• Pozas de Palomera. This small town located very close to Cuenca hides a series of pools that are a haven of peace and tranquility. It is an ideal place to enjoy a swim in nature, but we warn you... the water is very cold. In summer they are great, but now in spring is when they carry the most water and it is highly recommended to go at this time.

 

• Playa de Cañamares. Located next to one of the meanders of the Escabas River, this paradise is the perfect place to enjoy bathing, especially if you are with the family. What better way to refresh yourself than in such an idyllic setting? This river beach offers much more than just fresh water. Located in a quiet environment and surrounded by lush vegetation, I assure you that you will feel like you are in an oasis.

• Laguna del Tobar. Located in the picturesque region of the Serranía Alta de Cuenca, is the El Tobar Lagoon, a true natural treasure in the surroundings of the charming district of El Tobar, belonging to the municipality of Beteta. This bathing area is surrounded by lush greenery, adding even more charm to its beauty. The crystalline waters of this lagoon come from a natural spring, which is complemented by the contribution of the Santa María de Val Reservoir. This reservoir, in turn, receives the waters of the Cuervo River, thus creating a unique and diverse aquatic ecosystem. The combination of these two bodies of water guarantees an environment full of life and natural beauty where you can take a refreshing bath.

 

• Cortados de Villalba. They are an essential destination for those looking to enjoy nature in the province of Cuenca. Located just 3 kilometers from the town of Villalba de la Sierra, these impressive cliffs offer a unique experience in the middle of a privileged natural environment. They are very close to the Ventano del Diablo, a natural viewpoint that you cannot miss, especially if you want to visit the Enchanted City. The Villalba cliffs captivate visitors with their panoramic views; they are the perfect setting to enjoy nature. A canyon sculpted by the waters of the Júcar River.

So prepare your swimsuit and your adventurous spirit, and immerse yourself in these wonderful places in Cuenca.
