Hiking in Ponga Natural Park: Ancient Trails & Wild Asturias
Embark on a captivating 4-hour hiking adventure through the Ponga Natural Park, a jewel of the Asturian mountains. This rugged landscape, crisscrossed by ancient trails, reveals a profound connection between nature and human history. You'll traverse endless forests, gaze upon peaks that pierce the sky, and explore deep gorges, all while immersing yourself in the cultural and ethnographic heritage of the region. As Jon Krakauer might note, these paths have been trodden for millennia, linking tiny hamlets perched precariously above the Beyos gorge. It's a place where the wild meets the timeless, a sensory journey into a landscape that feels both close and untamed, much like a fleeting scent of damp earth after a summer rain. Join us to experience the raw beauty and rich history of this corner of eastern Asturias, a true sanctuary for both wildlife and the human spirit.
