Description
Embark on an 10-hour adventure as we explore the heart of the Basque Country through a guided hike. Delight in the natural beauty, cultural richness, and historical significance of the region.
Escape the hustle and bustle of San Sebastián for a day and immerse yourself in the heart of the Basque Country with our "Hike the Heart of the Basque Country" experience. Our journey begins at the iconic Kiosk boulevard, where we'll embark on a scenic 1-hour drive, enjoying a delightful breakfast along the way.
Upon arrival, we'll commence our hike from a unique location steeped in culture and history. After an hour and a half, we'll find ourselves in one of the Basque Country's most beautiful valleys, nestled at an elevation of 1000 meters. Here, a magical experience awaits at an old shepherd's edge, where you'll savor a mountain snack accompanied by refreshing drinks.
You have the option to further challenge yourself by climbing one of the highest peaks in the Basque Country, standing proudly at 1,528 meters. This ascent, lasting 3 hours, promises panoramic views and a sense of accomplishment. Alternatively, you can choose to relax and continue soaking in the serenity of the valley.
The return of the walk can be by the same way up, lasting one hour or taking a circular route through a place of
spectacular beauty, a little harder, lasting 2 hours. We will end the walk having a drink in a 500-year-old farmhouse
before returning to San Sebastián. These options can be chosen by you at the time of starting the return.
