Gargantes de Escuain

The Esquain gorge is spectacular in itself, but this walk has a different purpose. The route takes you to the observation hut of Aves where you can see how vultures are fed at a relatively close distance. Griffon vultures and bearded vultures literally and figuratively fall from the sky. In addition to this spectacle, you can also enjoy the beautiful surroundings during the walk.

Then you walk through forest to the point where you are not allowed to follow the dirt road any further. Here you take a beautiful forest path that is indicated on the right.
