Arazas River Waterfalls (Arripas, La Cueva, Estrecho)
Cascadas de Arripas, la Cueva y el Estrecho
The first of three waterfalls on the Ordesa Valley trail, reached by a short forest walk, ideal for a relaxed half-day hike with kids.
From Ordesa Meadow, follow the trail up the right bank of the Arazas River. In about 1 to 1.5 hours, you will pass the Arripas Falls, the Cueva Falls and the Estrecho Falls in turn. The river plunges through a limestone gorge surrounded by dense beech forest, and each falls has a viewing platform. The path is well maintained with gentle gradients, making it a good turnaround point for visitors who don't want to hike the full route to Cola de Caballo. The Estrecho Falls is the most spectacular, with plenty of spray, so watch your footing on the slippery rocks.
