Our first stop will be the Enchanted City where the karstic landscape has developed suggesting forms in the rock that surprise the visitor. Our walking tour (around an hour) will let us know its unique flora well adapted to its different environments (rock hollows and cracks, shady and sunny lands, pinewoods…). We will also get to know the reason why the shapes of the rocks are so strange and suggestive.

Around noon we will make a brief visit to Uña Lagoon. This place was claimed wildlife refuge for its special bird biodiversity in 1988. Many bird species make this lagoon its wintering site, we can also find many bird raptors and mammals such as otters. With the help of binoculars and telescopes we will watch many of the bird species linked to the lagoon (gray heron, great cormorant, lagoon eaglet…) and as its rocky cliffs (griffon vulture, egypcian vulture, western marsh harrier…).

In Uña village we will have our lunch in a typical mountain range Restaurant. If you did not contract your lunch you will have some restaurants to eat, or pretty public spaces to have your picnic.

After lunch, we will visit the Birth of Cuervo River site. This is a Natural Monument sited in the North border of Cuenca mountain range Natural Park, just in the limit with Alto Tajo Natural Park. This concentration of protected sites is due to the beauty of this environment and to the ecology values of this part of Spanish nature. Cuervo River sources have developed gorgeous travertines and waterfalls. Also the plant community is here different, with many species typical from Atlantic environments: holly, yew, rowan, etc. The big waterfalls will make your visit something to remember.

On the way back to Cuenca city, we will have a latest stop at Devil's Window viewpoint, so we can say good bye to the Cuenca mountain range Nature Park with its spectacular views over the Jucar canyon and have here the change to take some latest impressive pictures.
