Hiking

The Mundo River is one of the most important rivers in the province of Albacete. Its birth is produced from a series of springs that flow from the limestone rocks of the natural park. These springs form a waterfall known as the "Cascada de los Batanes". From its source, the river covers a distance of approximately 130 kilometers to its mouth at the Segura River, in Murcia. Throughout its course, the river forms numerous waterfalls and waterfalls, such as the "Hundimiento waterfall" and the "Los Chorros waterfall".

Hiking

The birth of the Mundo River is an amazing natural phenomenon located in the province of Albacete, in Spain. This river emerges with great pressure from a network of underground galleries and caves, emerging in the form of a siphon from the Cueva de los Chorros. From there, it falls into a waterfall more than 100 meters high, forming several small waterfalls along the way.
If you ever have the opportunity, I recommend visiting this unique corner of La Mancha and enjoying the majesty of the source of the Mundo River. 🌿🌊

Hiking

It is advisable to visit after several days of rain, which is when a natural phenomenon called the blowout occurs.
