The path from the Cascada Caozo is a partly very steep mountain path with very few cairns and is densely overgrown. The pool at the Cascada Calderon invites you to swim.

The Jerte is a river from Cáceres that gives its name to the valley through which it passes. The 11 towns that make up the Valle del Jerte commonwealth are located on both banks of the river, which runs a total of about 70 kilometres. This point is ideal to relax under the shade of the trees listening to the sound of the water.
