THE NORTHERN LANDS OF NAVARRE: THE BAZTÁN VALLEY
It is a land impregnated by Basque culture and a beauty based on its meadows, forests, rivers and towns with enormous hamlets. The Baztán valley is the best known, but Urdax, Zurragamurdi and the Bidasoa area share common characteristics and landscape. The road from Pamplona has excessive truck traffic, but with patience you can get there without difficulty. Once in the valley you will find endless paths and charming corners to visit.
TWO HIKING ROUTES THROUGH THE BAZTÁN VALLEY
The first of the routes will take us from the town of Arizkun to the Xorroxin waterfalls. On the way we will cross forests, regattas and contemplate from the heights the Baztán valley with its large hamlets scattered across the meadows. The other route takes us to the Leurtza reservoirs where, after walking along its green banks, we will climb the mountains to enjoy the views. On the way back, and if the heat is too hot, we can bathe in the cold waters of the reservoirs.

ESSENTIAL TOURIST VISITS
In the Baztán Valley, any of its towns are worth a visit and a walk around its surroundings, but we have selected Elizondo since it is the capital of the valley and has a beautiful hamlet on both sides of the Baztán River. The Señorío de Bértiz is a botanical garden that has exotic plants from all over the world and picturesque buildings in art deco style that give it its peculiar character. Urdax is a small town but with a lot of history that has a monastery, canals and a mill, and nearby are the famous Ikaburu and Zurragamurdi caves.


BERTIZ MANOR
The Señorío de Bértiz is an extensive forest declared a natural park that has a botanical garden with exotic plants and unique buildings. Its owner was Don Pedro de Ciga who in his will bequeathed his property to Navarra with the condition that it be preserved without changing any of its characteristics.
