The waterfall springs from the Cueva del Agua from a height of over 20 meters, at the base of the rocky cirque that embraces the village, originating from an aquifer located in the subsoil of the Páramo de Bricia, and it leaps everywhere, dividing the village into two halves, the Villa and the Puebla, and descends among the stone houses, creating a most photogenic scene.

You might not want to go up to the village because you're too lazy, but once you get there, I assure you, you won't regret it. You can walk up the stairs or bike along the road from the village exit (heading upriver). It's clear that this is a tourist destination because it's home to most of the area's bars and restaurants.

From various shades of blue, ranging from turquoise to a dark ultramarine in the deepest part. To reach the well, there's a half-kilometer walk along a beautiful path that even has a cave entrance. When we arrived, it was a beautiful day, with people swimming and a caving group who had put on their diving suits and were exploring the depths of the underwater cave. A spectacle.
