Cascada del Chorro, Natural waterfall in Sierra de Cazorla, Spain.
Cascada del Chorro is a waterfall in the Sierra de Cazorla where water from the Arroyo de las Aguascebas del Chorro streams down steep limestone cliffs. The falling water collects in the Embalse de Aguascebas reservoir below, creating a striking scene of rock and flowing water.
The waterfall gained importance when the Sierras de Cazorla became a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1983. The creation of Parque Natural Sierras de Cazorla in 1986 provided this site and its surroundings with full protection.
The waterfall forms part of the natural landscape that local communities have valued for generations. Visitors come to experience the raw power of water and the unspoiled surroundings.
Access to the waterfall is via a dirt road south of the reservoir, followed by a short hike on marked trails. The best time to visit is after rain, when water volume is greater and the experience more striking.
The waterfall feeds a critical water system in Spain's largest protected natural area, spanning vast terrain. This function makes it more than just a sight - it is actually vital to the region's ecosystem.
