El Chorro de Navafría

El Chorro de Navafría is a waterfall in the Sierra de Guadarrama mountains that plunges through rocky terrain in cascading stages. The water flows through a forested valley with lush plant growth, creating a green pocket within the mountain landscape.

The waterfall was once a vital source of water for local communities and their daily needs. Over time it became developed as a recreational area and now falls within a protected natural park.

The waterfall serves as a gathering place where local families and visitors spend weekends together in the open air. The park around it is where people come for leisure, picnics, and informal outdoor time.

The best time to visit is from late spring through autumn when the weather is pleasant and paths are easy to walk. Wear sturdy footwear since the ground can be slippery and wet near the water.

The water volume changes dramatically with the seasons and peaks in spring when snow melts from high mountain elevations. This variation makes the waterfall's appearance and sound completely different from one visit to another.
