OTAL VALLEY. Hiking with 4×4 support.

We start the summer, proposing an excursion of hiking with 4 × 4 support. Excursion to the Otal Valley, in the Bujaruelo Valley.

Hiking with the support of a 4×4 is an activity that allows us to approach higher or farther areas than we can normally reach with our cars. In this way we save part of the route. It allows us to reach more distant areas. and we find more solitary and exclusive places.

The Bujaruelo Valley is a jewel in the peripheral part of the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park. It is the entrance to the area of ​​the Ordesa and Vignemale Biosphere Reserve.

Otal, it is a delight to see different varieties of wild orchids, buttercups and even Edelweiss and enjoy the company of the friendly marmots.

On the way back, we will make a short stop in San Nicolás de Bujaruelo, where we will explain part of the history of this place and we will be able to enter a surveillance bunker of the well-known Francoist "P line".
