From about 0.21 m³/s in the lowest month to 5.2 m³/s in the highest. Best months to go, with plenty of water and pleasant days: from November to February.
Estimate: the timing comes from rain, snowmelt and evaporation (NASA POWER, 1991–2020); the amounts from the river model of HydroATLAS (WaterGAP, 1971–2000). Dams upstream can change the real flow.
Cachón del Camaces is a waterfall in Spain. It lies within Arribes del Duero Natural Park.
