Nacedero del Urederra (Urbasa-Andía)
Nacedero del Urederra
Emerald-turquoise pools and waterfalls fed by karst springs. One of Navarre's most popular hiking routes.
The Urederra River emerges from the limestone cliffs of the Urbasa plateau, forming a chain of turquoise pools and small waterfalls. In Basque, 'Urederra' means 'beautiful water'. The round trip from the village of Bakedano is about 6 km and takes about 3 hours, mostly on forest dirt tracks. To protect the environment, visitor numbers are limited, so you must book in advance on the Navarre government's official website; parking fees apply in peak season. Swimming is prohibited. The source is about 60 km from Pamplona, and you can also drive up to the Urbasa plateau to see its pastures and beech forests.
