SPAIN: MONASTERIO DE PIEDRA

Hidden in the mountains in the province of Zaragoza, the Natural Park of the Monasterio de Piedra offers a really beautiful environment, especially in Autumn.

Around a monastery, the waters of the River Piedra have shaped the landscape into lakes, grottos and waterfalls, such us:

  • Cascada Caprichosa (Caprichosa Waterfall)
  • Lago de los Patos (Lake of Ducks)
  • Cascada Trinidad (Trinidad Waterfall)
  • Cascada Caprichosa (Caprichosa Waterfall)
  • River Piedra
  • Cascada Iris (Iris Waterfall)
  • Gruta Iris (Iris Grotto)
  • Cascada Cola de Caballo (Cola de Caballo Waterfall)
  • Lago del Espejo (Mirror Lake)
  • Monasterio de Piedra


Besides, the park preserves dense forests in an ecosystem of great biological richness with many different species of animals and a great variety of giant trees.
