In the heart of Europe, discover a special place nestled between Spain and France – the Pyrenees. A hidden playground for both kids and adults! Stretching over 450 km from the Atlantic Ocean in the west, to the Mediterranean Sea in the east, these mountains form a natural border between France and Spain. The Pyrenees reach a height of 3,404 meters at Pic de l’Aneto, with the small kingdom of Andorra nestled in its center. Join us on an exploring journey to the Spanish Pyrenees, passing through stunning Alpine landscapes, lakes, rivers, cliffs, and abundant waterfalls. Alongside the magnificent scenery and landscapes, you will be surprised by the cultural diversity.
The peoples living in this region were isolated due to the difficulty of crossing the mountains, leading to the development of distinct folklore, traditions, and languages. We invite you to a multi-adventure trip of a lifetime, full of unforgettable experiences suitable for all ages!
