Beautiful waterfall with a natural pool that is located a few meters from the forest track and without a doubt it is worth taking the short detour, especially if it is summer since you can take a refreshing bath.

Highlight • Forest

A delightful section to roll through dense beech forests.

Pool area in the Argonza River

Highlight • River

Beautiful place especially for hot days since you can cool off in one of them. It is reached by a very cool track that runs next to the Argonza River and then continues through the heart of the Saja-Besaya Park.
