Mountain biking
The route enters the Cañada del Raso through the access to a gypsum factory, leaves the facilities on the right and passes through the Laguna Seca or Las Esteras wetland, a valuable lake ecosystem in a natural depression in the land that floods temporarily, creating a hypersaline wetland of great geological, botanical and faunal importance of high environmental value, a small wonder in the páramo landscape.

Hiking
In spring and during the rainy season, the blue surface of the Esteras lagoon is an environmental jewel in the arid landscape of the rural moorland. The volume of water depends on rainfall and evaporation. During long periods of high temperatures, the water disappears and becomes a white salt lake with a noticeable crust of mineral salts. In this case, it is advisable not to enter the lake to closely observe the sodium sulphate crystals because it is a mud trap, the wetland is always under the salt.
