Hiking along the ancient Cromlech route
Tired of crowded routes? Discover the mystical soul of the Basque Country on this circular tour of the Adarra and Mulisko Gaina rivers. It's not just a walk; it's a journey through time. As you ascend through ancient beech forests and emerald pastures, you will be enveloped by the ancestral energy of the cromlechs, megalithic stone circles that whisper stories of ancient rituals. Imagine seeing these stones, witnesses of forgotten civilizations, with the imposing Cantabrian Sea as a backdrop.
What makes this route unique is the perfect combination of wild nature and intangible heritage. You'll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views, from the peaks of Aralar to the crashing waves of La Concha. But the true magic lies in the connection with the past, an almost shamanic experience that will transport you to a time when man and the earth were one. It's an adventure for the soul, not just the feet. Ready to feel the call of the ancestors?

What's included in Hiking along the ancient Cromlech route
(Subject to Option Inclusions)On this hiking route, you'll walk a distance of 13 kilometers with a cumulative elevation gain of 920 meters. It's a difficult route, but one in which you'll discover unusual and magical places. The tour is full of unique elements, such as the most important megalithic monuments in Gipuzkoa. It's the ideal hiking activity for small groups; you won't have to worry about maps, just enjoy the beautiful scenery you'll walk through. Swap the hustle and bustle of the city for a unique experience by visiting the magnificent rural surroundings of the Basque Country. In addition, you will climb three peaks, Onyi (548m), Adarra (819m), one of the most famous and iconic peaks in the area, and Oindo (785m). With all the mountains surrounding you, it's hard to imagine that you don't have a passion for exploring and hiking in the mountains. Through this activity, I want to show you the magnificent landscape and nature that surrounds you, which has served as inspiration and motivation for great Basque mountaineers such as Juanito Oyarzabal and Edurne Pasaban.
