Beautiful waterfall just 3km from Alcaraz. There is car parking 200m from the waterfall.

The birth of the river Mundo is located in the municipality of Riópar, south of Albacete and between the Sierras of Alcaraz and Segura. It receives numerous visits for its spectacular waterfalls and for the reventón phenomenon, to see this waterfall in all its splendor it is advisable to visit it after periods of intense rains. What is most impressive is the Los Chorros waterfall, where the water gushes from a cave located more than 85 meters high above the valley, falling in a series of jumps and pools of great beauty.

Beautiful setting, impressive waterfall during its bursting season, which is usually in March. And a 700m hike to the highest viewpoint.

This fountain is located on a popular hiking route that leads to the top of Pico Almenara, the highest point in the mountain range. The fountain is an ideal place to rest and recharge your batteries before continuing the climb. The route that passes by the fountain offers spectacular views and is known for its natural beauty.

The Sierra de Alcaraz is part of the pre-Betic system, a subdivision of the Betic mountain ranges. The predominant vegetation includes reforested pine forests between 1,000 and 1,600 metres, and low scrub near the summit. The most common ascent route is along the south face, starting from the Pino de los Muchachos spring. Although it is not a difficult mountain to access, the climb requires some physical preparation.

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. 🌿🌊

The waterfall is located 150 m from the road and parking area, going south. The waterfall is about 25 meters high and is especially impressive after the rainy season. It's worth a stop.

The Mundo River is one of the most important rivers in the province of Albacete. Its source occurs from a series of springs that flow from the limestone rocks of the natural park. These springs form a waterfall known as the "Batanes waterfall." From its source, the river travels a distance of approximately 130 kilometers until its mouth at the Segura River, in Murcia. Throughout its journey, the river forms numerous waterfalls and waterfalls, such as the "Hundimiento waterfall" and the "Chrots waterfall".
