Description

This tour, departing from Cangas de Onís, will allow you to discover two of the most emblematic places in the Picos de Europa in a single day: the impressive Covadonga Lakes and the picturesque and remote village of Bulnes, which can only be reached by funicular railway. Our first stop will be in Poncebos, a small village nestled in the heart of the Picos de Europa National Park. From there, we will take the funicular railway to Bulnes. This underground journey, included in the price of the activity, will take us to this beautiful mountain village in just a few minutes, effortlessly overcoming a steep incline. Bulnes is one of the most charming and isolated villages in the Cantabrian Mountains, famous for its traditional architecture, tranquility, and spectacular views of the Naranjo de Bulnes (also known as Picu Urriellu), one of the most iconic peaks in Spain. We will have free time to explore the village at our own pace. You can go to the Naranjo viewpoint to enjoy unique views, or stroll through the center of Bulnes de Arriba, where time seems to have stood still. After our visit to Bulnes, we will return by funicular to Poncebos to continue our journey to another of Asturias' great natural treasures: the Lakes of Covadonga. This group of glacial lakes—Enol and Ercina—is located in the heart of the National Park and offers one of the most spectacular landscapes in northern Spain. Here we will also have free time to enjoy nature, take photographs, or simply contemplate the tranquility of the waters surrounded by high green mountains. The tour combines nature, culture, and rural heritage in a privileged setting, ideal for those who want to discover the beauty of the Picos de Europa. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes, warm clothing (even in summer, temperatures can be cool in high areas), and bringing water. The activity is designed for all audiences and does not require a high level of physical fitness. Get ready to enjoy an unforgettable day among mountains, lakes, and one of the most unique villages in Asturias.
