Aigüestortes National Park (Planell d'Aigüestortes)
Parc Nacional d'Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici
Catalonia's only national park. Streams wind through the 'winding water' meadows beneath pine forests and their reflections. Visitors can ride an off-road taxi in and then hike to the lakes.
Aigüestortes means 'winding rivers.' The park contains about 200 glacial lakes. From the Boí valley side, take the official off-road taxi from Boí village (about 12 euros round trip) to the Aigüestortes meadows. Private cars are prohibited in the core area. The classic routes are the meadow boardwalk loop (about 1 hour) and the climb to Estany Llong (about 1.5 hours). The visitor center is open in summer. Bring sunscreen and rain gear.
