Walking around the Mundo river - Albacete

A wonderful story to tell along the winding course of the rivers Mundo and Bogarra.

In this route, we will go over one of the most impressive mountain ranges in southeastern Albacete. A mountainous region filled with unique plant species and spectacular geological formations.

From the deeps

We will set off from the bottom of the deep canyon of the river Mundo and will continue upstream making short stops to contemplate the fascinating fluvial ecosystem before us.

Little brother

We will go upstream until the point where the river Mundo joins the smaller but pristine river Bogarra.

On our way back to the starting point, we will traverse the vast pine forests of the highest levels and will have an overview of the scenery that will help us understand the scale of this enormous “scar” on the surface of the earth.

Álvaro García Valero

Biologist and naturalist, but above all a lover of life, I consider the Segura and Alcaraz mountain ranges as my second home, as well as the great steppes of the southeast of Albacete. I dedicate all my efforts to the study, understanding and dissemination of the natural and cultural values of this fantastic region of the Iberian Peninsula.
