• Resumen

  • A complex variety of freshwater tufa deposits (tufa barrage, detrital tufa, lacustrine carbonates...) are often found at the karstic bottom-valleys of the Iberian Mountain Chaine. In this paper, the geomorphological study of some fluvial tufas deposits located near Peralejos de las Truchas (Guadalajara) are undertaken. They are developed in recent age (Late Pleistocene-Holocene) within a deep gorge cut by the Upper Tagus river into mesozoic partly dolomitized carbonates.

    These tufa deposits have the morphology of a terrace. However there are built by the lateral migration of water-falls associated with carbonate prograding wedges controled by Upper Tagus stream.
