Explore the Hoces del Río Duraton Natural Park, a dream corner between Sepúlveda and the Burgomillodo reservoir. The Duratón River has sculpted a majestic canyon with walls more than 100 meters high and rocks dyed a captivating ocher, creating a contrast with the lush riverside vegetation.

Discover the high walls where birds of prey such as the griffon vulture, Egyptian vulture, golden eagle and peregrine falcon nest. The park is divided into four areas with diverse vegetation, from sessile juniper forests and resin pine forests to unique rock communities and riverside forests.

Explore the Hoz del Duratón, where the river and its tributaries have given life to natural beauty intertwined with a rich archaeological and historical heritage, such as the Benedictine Priory of San Frutos and the convent of Nuestra Señora de la Hoz. Discover the caves with engravings from the Bronze Age and the architectural complex of Sepúlveda, famous for its delicious gastronomy.
