Reserva natural Garganta de los Infiernos
Reserva natural Garganta de los Infiernos, Protected natural reserve in Extremadura, Spain
The reserve extends across 6,927 hectares between Sierra de Tormantos and Sierra de Gredos, featuring waterfalls, natural pools, and mountain streams.
The region witnessed Celtic settlements and battles against Hannibal's legions in 218 BC, marking centuries of human presence in the area.
The annual Cherry Blossom Festival in the Jerte Valley brings together local traditions, gastronomy, and celebrations around the flowering season.
Visitors can access guided tours to Los Pilones natural pools, with restrictions on motor vehicles and requirements to keep dogs on leashes.
The reserve contains giant potholes formed by water erosion, creating circular pools known as Los Pilones amid granite and gneiss formations.
