The Escalerón’s first stop

Leave Uña with the lake to your left and the viewpoint is soon reached. From here you can see the water, the cliffs enclosing it and, above, the rim followed by the PR-CU 37, a PR (short-distance trail): it gives an idea of the route before the climb.

The lake has a good population of waterbirds. The Park guide highlights its wealth of wildlife, and vultures breed on the cliffs opposite.

Plan your visit

Before you travel

It is a few minutes from the village. For birds, early morning is better, with binoculars, without going down to the shore.

Combine with

The Refrentón viewpoint, high on the same trail, and the Travertino viewpoint.
