The mountain range of The Pyrenees is much more than a succession of beautiful landscape and nature. There you can also find ancient cultures of great character where history and mythology often blend.

The Navarra Pyrenees is situated in a setting where man and nature have survived without damaging each other. We suggest a trip on foot that lets us discover its most emblematic corners.

We will begin in the Irati jungle, known as the biggest beech forest in Southern Europe and considered one of the wildest places of the Pyrenees. Surrounded by valleys, this central part of the Navarra Pyrenees mixes rocky expanses; high peaks topped with crags or pastureland, and wooded fertile forests. After that we will continue on the Roncesvalles route as far as the Larra natural reserve in the Roncal valley. We will continue as far as the northern part of the Pyrenees where we will enjoy the contrast between the rounded grassy peaks that top the crest and the spectacular canyon of Holzarte and Elhuarre. In our last stage we will visit Las Bardenas Reales, a magic mysterious enclave situated in the southwest of Navarra. Its strange desert-like appearance is the result of an intense erosive activity.

The Navarra gastronomy is like its land and people: rich and varied. The best vegetables, fish, meat and cheese mix to let us enjoy their tastes. On the bank of the river Ebro the most valued wines in Spain are made.
