The brown natural park signs will point you in the right direction but, before you head out, stop by the 11th-century Romanesque Iglesia de El Salvador. The ancient church houses the natural park headquarters, the Centro de Interpretación del Parque Natural de las Hoces del Río Duratón Rafting or kayaking this river as it winds through canyons cut in a mostly flat, arid land makes for a unique adventure. Deep, calm pools alternate with narrow stretches of rapids, with views all along of cliffs and caves, little sandy-colored homes and ruined castles atop the rim. The park is a nature preserve for vultures, so keep your eyes peeled.
