Descripción

The area was formed in a depression resulting from underground volcanic explosions caused by the approach of magmas to the surface. The nearly 70 hectares of the seasonal Lagoon of Caracuel has in recent years become a natural eden for waterfowl with high concentrations of birds. In certain months of the year more than 6,000 birds of 68 different species of birds are present. But the amounts of birds are very much dependent on the level of the water and time of year.

The Focha Común has sometimes reached numbers of 4000 here. Also other birds can sometimes occur in great numbers. Like sometimes more than 300 Porrón Europeo, 500 Ánade friso, 600 Cuchara Común, or more than 600 Cigüeña Blanca. Also note the concentrations of Flamenco Común with sometimes up to 700 individuals, and Zampullín Cuellinegro with up to 400. But many more birds can be seen in lesser numbers, depending as noted before on the time of the year and the waterlevel. For the birds you are most likely to see, see the extended list below.
