Hoces del Río Riaza Natural Park

The Riaza River carved deep canyons through limestone formations, creating vertical walls that extend for several kilometers across the protected area.

The Spanish government established this natural park in 2004 to safeguard the geological formations and maintain the ecological balance of the region.

Local communities near the park maintain traditional agricultural methods that complement the conservation efforts of this natural reserve.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails throughout the year, with proper hiking shoes required due to the rocky terrain conditions.

The park contains nesting sites for griffon vultures, which build their nests in the high limestone cliffs along the river canyon.
