Chorrera de Mojonavalle, Mountain waterfall in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, Spain.
Chorrera de Mojonavalle is a waterfall in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park that cascades over uneven rocks as part of the Sestil del Maíllo stream. The water flows through mixed forest with pine and birch trees at around 1,600 meters elevation.
The waterfall is a natural feature in the Sierra de Guadarrama that has long been part of the Tajo River basin water system. The flow has shaped the landscape over many generations and continues to feed this important river system.
The waterfall draws hikers from Madrid and nearby areas who come here to spend time outdoors and observe wildlife. People visit throughout the year for walking and to watch birds in their natural habitat.
The waterfall is reached via a marked trail from Puerto de Canencia covering about 4 kilometers and requiring proper hiking gear. Visitors should pay attention to weather conditions, as the path can vary depending on the season.
The water drops roughly 30 meters, with the pool below changing depth significantly depending on the season. Heavy rain can turn the pool deep, while drier periods leave it shallow and small.
