Tips from the Community
Very nice tour, I liked it, although there was a bit of a bad smell from the company before crossing the bridge. Also, I found areas of the path damaged and/or blocked by logs and pebbles. It was hard for me to finish the return route. But overall, I was satisfied with the route.

The Campillo Lagoon is located in Rivas Vaciamadrid, within the Southeast Regional Park, about 20 km from Madrid. It is a protected natural area, ideal for peaceful walks and outdoor activities. Origin: Artificial, formed in the 1960s and 70s after the extraction of aggregates in the Jarama River basin. Water from the aquifer filled the excavations and over time became a wetland with great biodiversity.

The view from the Rivas Cliffs towards the Campillo Lagoon is spectacular: you can see the lagoon surrounded by vegetation, with the Jarama River winding nearby and the gypsum cliffs in the foreground, creating a striking contrast between the water and the white walls. In the distance, you can often see waterfowl and, on clear days, even the silhouette of Madrid.

The Campillo Lagoon is located in the Southeast Regional Park, in the Spanish municipality of Rivas-Vaciamadrid, in the Community of Madrid. Its origin lies in the former gravel quarrying that took place in the Jarama River basin during the 1960s and 70s. Excavation went below the water table, and when quarrying ceased and the surrounding area was restored, this lagoon emerged, measuring approximately 4 kilometers in diameter and covering 35 hectares. After El Porcal Lagoon, it is the largest lagoon in the Southeast Regional Park. A peaceful place to relax, with numerous benches.
