Its name translates to "Stone Monastery." This natural park offers breathtaking scenery, featuring lush vegetation and fascinating rock formations shaped by the erosive power of the River Piedra. A leisurely two-hour walk will take you through spectacular waterfalls, tranquil lakes, and mysterious caves. Before the monastery, which now lends its name to the park, the site was home to an Arab fortress.
