On the right bank of the Tagus River, in the area of Hundido de Armallones, very close to the strait of La Tormellera, there is a curious waterfall of Piedra de Tuffa, which has been formed by the flow of water and time. It has great beauty.

The nature do not stop surprising! It is a formation of Tolmos, (Vertical Rocks), ordered and organized like a procession of Friars who are going to perform their prayers. The ideal is to see them from the bed of the Reato River, both from the bottom and the top of the meander it forms. You can also get close to them and admire their great size.
