Description

Enjoy a unique adventure for the whole family in the stunning Urkiola Natural Park in Spain. For three hours, I’ll guide you through the hiking path of this incredible natural park near Bilbao to discover the magical Cavernas de Sugoi. Follow me!

The Urkiola Natural Park is a mountainous area where you can discover the Basque history, culture and traditions. It has limestone cliffs, ravines and deep valleys, ideal for climbers and hikers. The Jentilzubi arc marks the entrance to the dazzling park.

Our 5.3-kilometer trail will take us to the Baltzola caves, where the genie Sugoi, husband to Mari, a Basque goddess, is supposed to live, hence the name “Cavernas de Sugoi”. On this journey, you’ll learn about Basque traditions and beliefs. Additionally, we can also ascend to the peak of Garaio (574m), one of the most rocky summits in the Ugatxa Mountain, if you want to.

So, are you ready for a thrilling adventure near Bilbao? Then send your request and let me guide you through this mythical park on an adventure for all.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
