Salto del Nervión, located on the border between Álava and Burgos, is one of the most spectacular natural landmarks in the Basque Country. This waterfall, at over 220 meters, is the tallest in the Iberian Peninsula and offers breathtaking views as it cascades dramatically into the Delika Canyon.

The waterfall is primarily seasonal, fed by rainfall and snowmelt, which makes it most impressive during late winter and early spring. Visitors are advised to plan their trips after periods of heavy rain or thaw to witness the waterfall at its fullest.

The site is accessible via several routes, with the most popular starting at the Monte Santiago Natural Monument parking area. From there, a well-marked and relatively easy hiking path leads to the scenic viewpoint overlooking the falls. Another option is to approach from the Delika Canyon, offering a different perspective of the waterfall’s grandeur.

Surrounded by rugged cliffs, lush forests, and diverse wildlife, the Salto del Nervión is a natural wonder and a must-visit destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.
