Description

The Irati Forest is the second largest beech and fir forest in Europe and the main stop on this excursion. A route in Navarre to enjoy nature, the Pyrenean mountains, its villages...
On this full-day excursion, we will leave at 9 a.m. from Pamplona and head north to the fantastic Baztan Valley.
We will stop at a viewpoint over the valley to enjoy the greenery and peace that this place exudes, before continuing on to visit Zugarramurdi, a village forever linked to the word witchcraft. The largest witch hunt carried out by the Inquisition in the Iberian Peninsula took place here more than 400 years ago. We will visit the Akelarre cave.

After a short drive, we will enter the bowels of the earth to visit the Ikaburu Cave in Urdax, a cave crossed by a river. We will recharge our batteries at a local restaurant (lunch not included in the price) and continue on our way to visit the unmissable historical and artistic garden of the Señorío de Bertiz, the first natural park to be declared in Navarre.

We will end the day in Elizondo, capital of the Baztan Valley, where, after a group walk, you will have some free time to stroll around, take photos, shop, etc. before returning to Pamplona, where we will arrive at around 7:30 p.m.
