How to get to Cascada de Sorrosal Waterfall

Take the N-260 to Broto village, one of the gateways to the Ordesa y Monte Perdido Natural Park, together with Torla.

From Huesca take the direction to Sabiñanigo. After passing Biescas, turn right. You can also go from Barbastro. Take the A-138 towards El Grado and Ainsa. From here take the N-260 towards Boltaña and Broto.

Once in Broto, on the road that crosses the village, there is a detour with a sign indicating the waterfall path. There is a car park for the waterfall. The path is short (5 minutes), runs parallel to the river (in the Sorrosal ravine) and is well signposted. The Sorrosal waterfall is visible from the village. The route is linear, and you return the same way you came.

Here is the route from Broto to the waterfall on a map. 

There is a car park in Broto 500 m from the waterfall. In summer the car park can be full. You can park in other places in the village or on the outskirts of the village. You will still be very near to the waterfall.

It is always spectacular and is open all year round. In summer there is less water falling from the waterfall.

Taking a dip in the natural pool (Be aware that as it’s on the edge of the ‘National Park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido’, there is some discussion going on about whether swimming is allowed here).
Climbing (there is a via ferrata to climb the waterfall)
Canyoning
Hiking

Wheelchair access is possible. The path from the car park is flat. You can get as close as 45 m from the waterfall.

It’s forbidden to make fires, litter, and park in non-authorized areas.

Avoid carrying coolers (and chairs, hammocks, tables) and playing loud music.

Remember that soap and detergents should not be used in rivers and pools. Also, most sun creams contaminate the water, try to apply them well before taking a dip.

(Scientists have found that sunscreen releases significant amounts of titanium dioxide, which damages aquatic life.
Soaps have phosphates, are also non-biodegradable and harm the environment).
