The size of the protected area is 250 km2.[2] The park is surrounded by the elevations in the Sierras de Bernalejo and La Cuesta and the nearby Altamira River. The name of the area is coming from Hacienda El Gogorrón, who made this place a resort. On 22 September 1936 the area becomes a protected area and national park.[3]
