Image gallery
Come to the Lago de la Baña Natural Monument, an oasis among slates in the León region of Cabrera. Enjoy its crystal clear waters that reflect the sky and the mountains. Its geological origin is known by landslide, which makes it vulnerable to desiccation. Protect this unique natural refuge.
Explore the valley surrounded by imposing mountains and the glacial cirque crowned by Peña Trevinca and Peña Surbia. It follows the Cabrera River, one of the most important tributaries of the Sil River. Admire the variety of vegetation, from oaks and birches to yews and hollies. Spot wildlife, from roe deer and wolves to wildcats and otters.
Listen to birdsong, from white herons and wild ducks to eagles and goshawks. Discover aquatic species, such as San Antonio frogs and russet frogs.
