Beschrijving
Discover the Highlands in Spanish from Edinburgh: feel the magic of Glencoe, admire the Glenfinnan Viaduct (Harry Potter), and relax at the foot of Ben Nevis on an unforgettable day.
Embark on an unforgettable journey to the heart of the Scottish Highlands and discover some of the most spectacular mountain landscapes on the planet on a guided excursion exclusively in Spanish.
Our adventure begins early in the morning in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, at 190 High Street (Royal Mile). After settling into our comfortable vehicle and meeting your expert guide, we'll leave the capital behind and cross the Firth of Forth heading north, directly towards the untamed beauty of the Highlands.
Our first stop will be in Kilmahog, a picturesque village on the edge of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Here you'll have the chance to stretch your legs, enjoy a comforting cup of coffee, and get up close to the famous Highland Cows (hairy coos), one of the country's most beloved landmarks.
We'll then continue into the breathtaking Glen Coe valley, stopping at the Three Sisters Viewpoint. Surrounded by imposing, sky-reaching ridges, your guide will tell you the fascinating story of the Scottish clans and the tragic Massacre of Glencoe in a setting of untamed beauty that will take your breath away.
The tour continues to one of the day's major highlights: the Glenfinnan Visitor Center. On the shores of historic Loch Shiel, this spot is famous both for its deep Jacobite heritage — where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard in 1745 — and for hosting the world-famous 21-arch Glenfinnan Viaduct, immortalized in the Harry Potter films with the passage of the Hogwarts Express. You'll walk along its scenic trails to take unique photos of the viaduct and the Jacobite monument. During the spring and summer seasons, our stop coincides with the iconic Jacobite steam train crossing the viaduct (please note that the train does not operate and does not run its route in the fall and winter seasons).
We will then follow the coastline to Neptune's Staircase, the longest continuous flight of locks in the UK, designed by Thomas Telford on the Caledonian Canal, with the majestic silhouette of Ben Nevis —the highest peak in the UK— standing out against the horizon.
We'll stop in Fort William, a lively coastal town known as the outdoor capital, perfect for recharging your batteries and having lunch at its local pubs or grabbing a quick bite to make the most of your time.
Starting our journey back south, we'll stop in the charming town of Pitlochry, famous for its impeccable Victorian architecture and its traditional arts and crafts and local bakery shops. It is the perfect place for a stroll before tackling the final stretch of the drive.
We'll wrap up our day on central George Street in Edinburgh's New Town, a perfect spot to continue enjoying the Scottish capital's culinary scene.
