The Basque Country is known for its great tradition of mountaineering throughout history, and generation after generation has continued with its love of hiking and the mountains. There are hundreds of spectacular routes in a magical setting between the sea and the mountains that can be done in a single day.
We will take you through the most unique landscapes of our land, enjoying our beech forests, rivers or the most spectacular panoramic views, all accompanied by a dose of culture, enlivening the route with explanations about the place, its fauna, flora or traditions of the area.
With Inguru Abentura we will discover the best kept secrets of the Natural Parks of Aizkorri, Aralar, Urbasa, Urkiola, Gorbea, Izki, Valderejo… and a lot of unique natural environments that have little to envy to higher mountains.
If you know of a route or want to do an ascent for which you need the experience and help of a guide, do not hesitate to contact us and we will carry it out.
We have a great team of professional guides, Level 2 Mountain Sports Technician (international qualification UIMLA), who will lead us through a suitable terrain and make sure it is an unforgettable experience.
Don’t think twice and come and walk through the heart of the Basque mountains with Inguru Abentura!
What kind of hiking do we recommend?
The guides of Inguru Abentura have it clear, the most beautiful route you can find is in the heart of the Basque Country, in the Natural Park of Urkiola, also known as the small Basque Alps.
If you are looking for a route with greater technical and physical difficulty, the circular route through the Gorbea Natural Park is the best option.

Who can go hiking?
Anyone is suitable for an activity such as hiking. There are short, low-difficulty routes for beginners in the Sierra de Entzia and other longer routes such as those in the Urbasa Natural Park.
