THE EXPERIENCE
The Aragonese Pyrenees, a land steeped in myths and legends, holds a magical heritage among its valleys and peaks, where beings such as fairies, enchantresses, and witches still seem to roam in the Ordesa and Viñamala Biosphere Reserve.
Eco Travel Pirineo offers an immersive, family-friendly experience combining nature, culture, and mythology to promote responsible ecotourism. Over four unforgettable days, you’ll explore spectacular landscapes and uncover local legends through games, outdoor activities, and dramatized visits that bring these stories to life. Each day is dedicated to a different mythical being, celebrating the diversity and fragility of the ecosystem and encouraging respect for the natural world. The journey also features tastings of authentic Pyrenean cuisine. This adventure not only connects you with history and nature but also creates lasting memories for the whole family.
Day 1: The Gateway to the Magical World
Once upon a time, an adventurous family arrived in the Aragonese Pyrenees and felt as if they had stepped into another world—where time stood still and nature guarded ancient secrets.
As dusk fell, a local guide led them through the oldest corners of Sallent, a village where every stone tells a story. Among dimly lit alleys, they discovered legends that seemed to awaken in the twilight, revealing how nature and myth intertwine.
The evening ended with a meal of authentic local flavours—a perfect beginning to their adventure as the protagonists of an unforgettable tale.
Day 2: The Magic of the Forest
At dawn, the family ventured into an enchanted forest, guided by birdsong and the murmur of trees.
Following a crystal-clear river, they encountered creatures of legend hidden among the branches, who dance under the moonlight. The children were amazed to learn that this was home to unique plants and beings found only in the Ordesa and Viñamala Biosphere Reserve.
Later, they explored the village at their own pace, browsing artisan shops and discovering secret corners. For those who wished, a thermal circuit awaited—a perfect way to relax amid the mountains.
Day 3: Magical Waterfalls and the Witches’ Forest
The third day brought them face to face with the Pyrenees’ wild inhabitants. Walking quiet trails in the wildlife park, they watched deer and chamois in their natural habitat.
But the night held the true adventure: a visit to Piedrafita, a village steeped in tales of ancient rituals and healing plants. Listening by candlelight, they learned about wise women who once knew the secrets of the moon.
Dinner that evening was a feast of Pyrenean specialities, shared under the stars—a perfect close to a magical day.
Day 4: The Final Adventure in the Heights
On the last day, the family said farewell to the Pyrenees with a treetop adventure park, where thrilling zip lines and Tibetan bridges made them feel like explorers high above the forest floor.
Hearts full of stories and laughter, they set out for home—knowing that while they had left the place where legends come to life, they would carry its magic with them forever.
