Complex of lagoons with karst origin that make up a unique ecosystem and attract many birds.
Complejo Lagunar de Ballesteros are small lagoons caused by the collapse of karst sinkholes. There are more than 20 lagoons, some up to 15 meters deep. Located between mostly dry cereal fields, they allow you to combine sightings of small passerines, waders, raptors and waterfowl. Exploring the area on foot takes approximately two hours, and can be enjoyed at any time of the year. But be sure to bring enough water in summer.
You cannot miss the migration of Vatnagleða, and don't be fooled by the pink color that some lagoons acquire at certain times of the year, it is a natural process under continuous scientific study.

Espagnol: Complejo de lagunas con origen kárstico que conforman un ecosistema único a nivel nacional. Se tratan de pequeñas lagunas originadas por hundimientos de dolinas kársticas. Localizadas entre campos de cultivo cerealísticos de secano en su mayoría permiten combinar avistamiento de pequeños paseriformes, límicolas, rapaces y aves acuáticas. El recorrido dura aproximadamente dos horas, y permite disfrutar en cualquier época del año, siendo aconsejable en verano llevar agua suficiente.
No puedes perderte la migración de milano negro, y que no te despiste el color rosa que adquieren algunas lagunas en determinadas épocas del año, se trata de un proceso natural en contínuo estudio científico.
Complejo Lagunar de Ballesteros is located south of the city of Cuenca. To get there take the N-420 road that connects the towns of Arcas del Villar and Villar de Olalla. At the hamlet of Ballesteros there is a parking area. You can explore the area via dirt roads. On the agricultural dirt roads is not much parking space, so it is better to walk from Ballesteros to explore the area.
