Another place that we cannot miss is The Cimbarra Waterfallan impressive jump of water that reaches 40 meters high. This is located in an abrupt place carved by the riverbed, with thick vegetation, a rich fauna and endless pools and jumps.
Route to La Cimbarra Waterfall
The cascaded cimbarra cascade place is located a few kilometers from The town of Aldeaquemadamarked by the winding waters of the Guarrizas river. This is leaving in its path a succession of waterfalls to each more spectacular, surrounded by vegetation and high rock walls.
To get to this place, we first have to go by car along a path that starts from the southern part of the town of Aldeaquemada, very well signposted and easily accessible. When we get to High of the Cimbarra Colladowe will have to leave the vehicle and continue on foot. From here we will have two options to start the itinerary: the trail on the right will take us to The boilersnatural wells formed by the erosion of water in the stone, and to the base of the waterfall, while the one on the left will lead us to A viewpoint from where to contemplate a front view of the jump.
Anyway, we will immerse ourselves in a leafy Encinas y Alcornoques With Mediterranean thickets, the home of animals such as fox, gineta, otter, real eagle, the lost eagle or royal owl. In fact, “due to the high interest of its avifauna, space has been declared as a area of special protection for birds”, as explained by Tourism of Andalusia.
Little by little an impressive ravine with rock cliffs and an amazing water drop will emerge before us. According to the time of the year, the Cimbarra waterfall will fall with more or less intensity, being the most recommended visit it after several weeks of heavy rains. If we have chosen the road on the left and see the jump from the viewpoint, we can continue by a right hand that will take us to An abandoned mill and to the base of the waterfall, so as not to lose both perspectives. Of course, although the bathroom in the pool is not prohibited, you have to do it with great caution. The place is not conditioned as bathing area And we must be careful with the currents and rocks of the background that are not seen.
After enjoying the place, we have the option to continue exploring the area. On the one hand, we can continue the course of the river to visit the next waterfall, the Black puddlewhich has a larger pool but a smaller water jump. From here the itinerary continues to another waterfall, this time that of Cimbarrillo. Finally, this circular route takes us back to the area where we have left the car.
