Lagunas de Cañada del Hoyo, Group of seven lakes in Cuenca Province, Spain
The natural monument features seven permanent lakes with different colors, ranging from green to blue, formed through limestone dissolution processes.
The Spanish government established these lakes as a protected natural monument in 2007 through Decree 18/2007 to preserve their ecological value.
These lakes represent an essential component of Cuenca Province's natural landscape, supporting scientific research and environmental education initiatives.
Three lakes remain accessible to visitors through marked paths, while the other four require special authorization for access and research purposes.
The lakes contain rare microscopic organisms that create distinct water colors, with depths varying from 4 meters to 32 meters.
