Pienzu Peak Hiking Tour

Pienzu Peak Hiking Tour

At the scheduled time, we'll meet at the Alto del Fito viewpoint, located 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) from the center of Caravia. We'll set off on a path through pine forests as we begin our hike up to Pienzu Peak, the highest point along the coastal Sueve mountain range.

We'll start walking through the Asturian meadows enjoying views of the towns of Colunga and Caravia and their beaches. The route will take us to El Bustacu, a place located 653 meters (2,150 feet) above sea level that serves as a shelter for shepherds and their livestock. From here, we'll begin the steeper ascent to Pienzu Peak. We may see some of the wild Asturcones horses in this area.

We'll cross the Beluenzu pass and eventually reach the summit of Pienzu Peak at 1160 meters (3,800 feet) above sea level, where we will have panoramic views of the coast and the Asturian mountains, including the Picos de Europa national park.

We'll take a break before beginning the descent. The total duration of the hike is five hours, concluding back at the starting point.
