Routes through the Irati Forest

Rural Navarra is full of truly authentic corners that, cared for by those who make such personal tourism, are kept as secrets only revealed to visitors who want to know our territories by practicing sustainable tourism, close and friendly to the environment.

This enormous green patch made up beech and fir trees is the second largest and best preserved in Europe.

In eastern Pyrenees of Navarra we locate this wonder of green lung, at the head of the beautiful valleys of Aezkoa and Salazar. It is not really a jungle, but it is known by that name because it is the largest forest mass that we have in Navarra and, practically in all of Spain, along with other national parks. This forest made up of beech and fir trees is considered virgin due to haw well preserved it has reached our days, being cared for and treated with care by those of us who are dedicated to making sustainable and ecological tourism.

Among the plans that we recommend the most, are the bicycle tours along its paths along the Irati river or visiting the forest in autumn, with special beauty at this time of the year and when you can hear the cry of the dees crossing the forest like an echo at the time of “bellowing”. Another of the most important activities is the collection of mushrooms, this being one of the best areas to do so in al of Spain.

Hiking lovers have up to 16 different routes perfectly marked with little difficulty and perfectly passable with family, partner or friends, ready to enjoy a day in the middle of nature and a careful, personal and close tourism in the most impressive corners of our community. Catch your breath in the green lung of Navarra.
