Description

Do you want to explore one of the most beautiful parts of Spain? Join me on this trekking expedition in the Irati Jungle in Navarra.

The Irati jungle in the Pyrenees, is in reality an enchanting forest, so thick it paints green everything it touches. It’s the second biggest beech and fir mountain forest in Europe. And it extends over 17,000 of almost virgin hectares.

There are several magnificent mountains that surround the Irati Jungle. Some of the most prominent ones are the Orzanzurieta and Roncesvalles to the west, and the Orhi to the east. And to the south, stands the Abodi mountain range.

The efforts to preserve the Irati Jungle, have turned it into an incredibly protected area, restoring all its natural beauty. Trekking through it is a marvellous experience you simply can’t miss.

Also, on top of the beech and fir trees there are many other fascinating species that call this place their home. For instance in 2015 there was a carnivorous plant discovered here! The Drosera Rotundifolia has granted this place an extra protection program for conservation.

Then, we’ll encounter many other curious creatures that inhabit the Irati Jungle on our expedition. There are a lot of deer here, as well as roe deer, and boars. But it is also common to find the edible dormouse, marten, otter, pyrenean desman, and the eurasian water shrew. Additionally we could run into a woodpecker, a black woodpecker or a white-backed woodpecker. And above the sky we’ll have to keep our eyes open to see if we can spot peregrine falcons and royal eagles.

So if you want to discover all these majestic creatures and explore this amazing place, send me a request. I promise it will be a trip you won’t be able to forget!

I also offer other trekking trips, don’t hesitate on asking about them. Or you can check this Aneto Peak 2 day guided ascent.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
