    Hiking to the waterfalls in Ordesa

    July 16, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Today we did the main 6- hour hike in Ordesa National Park, 18 km round trip, with gorgeous scenery, and 5 waterfalls along the way. It was fairly crowded, but the weather was absolutely perfect, the path gentle and overall the hike was pretty magical. The waterfalls were progressively more beautiful, culminating in a stunning, hidden from view, waterfall, aptly named Horse Tail. My favorite part of the hike was at the end, when the path unexpectedly opened up to a magical valley, surrounded by the tall mountains, covered by yellow wildflowers. It was indeed one of the top day hike we ever did.Read more
