Experience a Safari in the Val d’Aran

Discover the Val d’Aran through its wildlife and alpine flora

The essence of the photographic safari is to find wildlife and enjoy beautiful moments in which you can contemplate the great diversity of flora and fauna of the Val d’Aran. We will take advantage of the ideal light offered by the valley to capture the best images, we will find beeches, impressive landscapes, native flora, wild pines, orchids, conics, lilies and much more … as well as we will look for fruits of the forest, where it develops under a natural environment surrounded by forests, lakes and allows us to know in depth the vegetation of the Val d’Aran. Through its trails we will enjoy nature and at the same time we will have the opportunity to taste wild fruits that we will find in the most remote places of the valley: cherry trees, blackberries, strawberries, merthylias and others will be protagonists according to the time of year. We will be surprised on more than one occasion with one of the most characteristic trees of the Val d’Aran such as the Abetos, which grows between 700 and 2000 m in height, and we will see native fauna accompanied by our interpretive guide of the Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Val d ‘Aran, and guides of the Aigüestortes and Sant Maurici National Park.
