Tajo (río)

A "tajo" (river breakthrough or gorge) refers to a deep, narrow valley formed when a river cuts through rock over time. It typically occurs in mountainous areas where fast-flowing water erodes the landscape, creating steep walls and a dramatic canyon. These formations reveal the river’s power to shape the earth and often serve as striking natural features, providing unique ecosystems and scenic views. The process involves the river continually wearing away the rock, deepening and widening the gorge, which can occur over thousands or millions of years.
