Calares del Mundo y de la Sima Natural Park

The natural park spans 19,192 hectares across six municipalities, featuring limestone plateaus, deep valleys, and the source of Mundo River with its 80-meter waterfall.

The Spanish government established this protected area in 2005 to preserve its geological formations, including the second-largest doline field in the Iberian Peninsula.

Local communities in the surrounding municipalities maintain traditional practices of livestock farming, agriculture, and forestry within designated areas of the park.

The park offers guided tours through the Chorros Cave system, with visitor centers in Yeste providing information about permitted activities and access routes.

The park contains 1,500 plant species, including Anthyllis rupestris, which maintains 90 percent of its global population within Calar del Mundo.
