Turtle Trips - Pyrenees - Espot, Agues Tortes

Relative to other parks that we visited on this trip, this park is unspoiled by tourist and is not too crowded. You can actually feel the nature around you. It's quiet except for the singing of birds and the scenery is amazing. If you plan to try the more isolated tracks you should take a map of the park (you can buy a map in Espot), but for the mainstream tracks you can do without one. We found our way using the park's signs and by asking other travelers on the way.

Take warm clothes with you, especially if you intend to start at the top of the mountain. The wind up there is quite fierce and it winds down as you climb down the mountain. Don't miss this park! You can get to several waterfalls, lakes, and flower beds by taking different paths throughout the park.

The whole trip from mountain top to taxi pick up point took us about 4 hours of not so fast walking.
