Cola de Caballo Waterfall

Cola de Caballo Waterfall lies at the end of Ordesa Glacier Valley, beneath the towering Monte Perdido. The cascade descends over stepped limestone cliffs, its threads of water creating a living ribbon in the rocky amphitheater. The surrounding cliffs bear marks of ancient glacial sculpting, forming a dramatic corridor for the river Arasas. The clear mountain water nourishes a fragile ecosystem, where lichens cling to sheer rock and raptors patrol the heights. This waterfall demonstrates the dialogue between persistent water and steadfast stone, a natural monument shaped over millennia.
