Laguna de Uña is a rich ecosystem of flora and fauna that is located at 1,150 meters of altitude, 34 km from the city of Cuenca. It occupies an area of about 15 hectares, which extends at the confluence of the Rincón stream with the Júcar river. This lagoon is located in the heart of the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park, in a karst terrain where it is almost a miracle that the waters do not leak. Its formation is due to the construction of canals and dams in the 20th century. Laguna de Uña awaits you with its charm and beauty! 🌿🌊
