Lagoons of Cañada del Hoyo
Lagunas de Cañada del Hoyo
Seven karst sinkhole lakes whose waters range from emerald green and milky white to deep blue, depending on minerals and algae.
The lakes lie in round sinkholes among the pine forests. The most famous, the Colored Lake, changes color with the seasons. Trails link the viewpoints, and a small castle stands nearby. The lake area is a natural heritage site managed by a private estate. A ticket costs a few euros in peak season, and swimming is prohibited. The lagoons lie about 35 km from Cuenca and are usually visited on the same day as the Torcas de los Palancares.
