Lagunas de Ruidera Natural Park, Natural park in La Mancha, Spain
Fifteen lakes of Ruidera form an interconnected chain through waterfalls and streams across 20 kilometers in Ciudad Real and Albacete provinces.
The natural park received its protected status in 1979, earned biosphere reserve designation in 1980, and gained Ramsar site recognition in 2011.
The park surroundings include Rochafrida castle and landscapes featured in Cervantes' novel Don Quixote.
Visitors can reach the park via national road N430 and obtain information at the center located in Ruidera town.
The karst underground creates a network of natural cavities with a 128-meter level difference between the lakes.
