Armentero viewpoint
Armentero viewpoint is at the end of the trail from Fuente de los Tilos to Cueva del Armentero, in the Hoz de Beteta y Sumidero de Mata Asnos Natural Monument. Beyond Cueva de la Ramera, a short, very steep climb leads to a lookout above the Guadiela gorge, overlooking one of the Sistema Ibérico's most prominent anticlines.

At the top of the climb
The trail starts at the Fuente de los Tilos picnic area, passes the Los Tilos weir and reaches the stairs to Cueva de la Ramera, 20 metres above the river. From there it continues to the Cueva del Armentero. The final stretch gains considerable height over a short distance, with the viewpoint at the top, also called Beteta viewpoint by the regional government of Castilla-La Mancha.
It looks into the Hoz de Beteta and onto an anticline in its walls: layers of rock folded into an arch by the forces that raised the hills.
