Iturburua Route

In the heart of the Baztan Valley, very close to Elizondo, lies the Iturburua Route, a peaceful walk that invites you to discover one of the freshest and greenest environments in the valley.

The route runs among oaks, beeches and chestnut trees, in a humid forest where moss, ferns and the sound of water create a serene and immersive atmosphere.

It is an ideal route to walk at a relaxed pace, enjoy the scenery and connect with nature. Its gentle elevation and short distance make it a perfect option for families, older people or walks with children, as well as for those looking for a simple and authentic experience of the Baztan Valley.

Throughout the year, Iturburua offers an ever-changing landscape: vibrant green in spring, freshness in summer and spectacular colors in autumn.
