Abstract

The natural and selective erosion of the volcanic rocks that compound it has formed Puente de Piedra (Rock Bridge). This is a nice example on the manifestation of the erosion processes in Nature. This natural structure might be considered as a natural arch or as a natural bridge. Its base shows evidences of strengthincrement due to compression. Taxonomically, Puente de Piedra is a Meandering Natural Bridge if all its attributes are considered.
