Trekking expedition across the Irati Jungle, Navarra

Do you want to explore one of the most beautiful parts of Spain? Join me on this trekking expedition in the Irati Jungle in Navarra.

The Irati jungle in the Pyrenees, is in reality an enchanting forest, so thick it paints green everything it touches. It’s the second biggest beech and fir mountain forest in Europe. And it extends over 17,000 of almost virgin hectares.

There are several magnificent mountains that surround the Irati Jungle. Some of the most prominent ones are the Orzanzurieta and Roncesvalles to the west, and the Orhi to the east. And to the south, stands the Abodi mountain range. 

The efforts to preserve the Irati Jungle, have turned it into an incredibly protected area, restoring all its natural beauty. Trekking through it is a marvellous experience you simply can’t miss.

Also, on top of the beech and fir trees there are many other fascinating species that call this place their home. For instance in 2015 there was a carnivorous plant discovered here! The Drosera Rotundifolia has granted this place an extra protection program for conservation.

Then, we’ll encounter many other curious creatures that inhabit the Irati Jungle on our expedition. There are a lot of deer here, as well as roe deer, and boars. But it is also common to find the edible dormouse, marten, otter, pyrenean desman, and the eurasian water shrew. Additionally we could run into a woodpecker, a black woodpecker or a white-backed woodpecker. And above the sky we’ll have to keep our eyes open to see if we can spot peregrine falcons and royal eagles.

So if you want to discover all these majestic creatures and explore this amazing place, send me a request. I promise it will be a trip you won’t be able to forget!
