Discover the wilderness of the Picos de Europa National Park on this small group trip to the Covadonga Lakes from Cangas de Onís, where we will observe birds and explore nature amidst stunning landscapes.

Explore the Lakes of Covadonga

The adventure begins at the parking lot of Llerado Street in Cangas de Onís. Aboard our small-group vehicle, we will journey through the Picos de Europa National Park.

For 3.5 hours, we will explore the Covadonga, Enol, and Ercina lakes located at 1100 meters altitude, learning about the landscape's formation while enjoying the nature around us. Opportunities for photography will be abundant with the lakes as a backdrop. The focus of our route will be on appreciating the natural environment.

Next, we will visit Vega de Enol, known for its Gamoneu cheese production, where we will discuss the connection between livestock farming and mountain ecosystems.

We will then stop at the Mirador de la Reina for panoramic views and bird watching, especially predators like vultures and golden eagles. We will learn about the bearded vulture reintroduction project and the meaning of their name.

During the tour, we will also cover other wildlife such as bears, wolves, and chamois. The adventure will conclude with a return to the meeting point, offering lasting memories.
