La Chorrera is located near the Valle de Lozoya, in the Sierra de Guadarrama, which hides places like this, accessible to all types of people because it is a simple route but not too well known for everyone. It is a path whose difficulty is medium if you do not reach the stream itself, since it is quite difficult there and, generally, has water throughout the year. We recommend that you take a look in advance at the basic equipment that you have to carry to be able to carry out the route without setbacks

Many of the areas of the hiking route do not have trees, so it is not advisable to do it in summer, or if you do it, it is better to do it early in the morning or when the sun is going down, to avoid being overheated. Be careful with the sun!
Depending on the time of year we are in, the Chorrera de San Mamés will carry more or less water, in spring is when there is usually more due to the thaws. Once you reach the base of La Chorrera you can continue the path, along its right edge, but from then on it becomes harder and you will have to be especially careful with the humidity of the stones.
