Santuario de Aranzazu

Next, we will stop at the 1950’ Sanctuary of Arantzazu - a majestic monument rising above craggy rocks that is considered one of the most avant-garde religious structures in the world! Leading Basque artists like Néstor Basterretxea, Eduardo Chillida and Jorge Oteiza contributed to this incredible project. Surroundings of the Sanctuary are breathtaking!

Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park

With the spiritual energy of basilica we will start the ascent of Mount Aizkorri. Without a doubt, these rocky peaks are not only the highest but also the most scenic formations of sharp limestone massif in the Basque Country.

The path will take us first through a treeless but green landscape filled with ‘latxa’ sheep and local legends. With time, grazing pastures will turn into rugged rocks and above the mountains will appear gliding birds of prey: peregrine falcon, griffon vulture, booted eagle…

At the top of the mountain we will enjoy panoramic views and a well-deserved rest! It’s a perfect moment to eat delicious lunch made of highest quality local specialities like Idiazabal cheese, cured sausages, ham and tuna fish from a nearby port.

Heavenly hike!

I don't typically write reviews, but our guide Ernes was absolutely wonderful. He took good care of my friend and I, was very informative of the area, pleasant to talk to, and patient with us, in particular coming down from the top. He made sure we took it slow and did not rush us. The scenery was breathtaking, and we enjoyed every step of the way. We got to see horses and sheep along the way. Definitely worth it!!

Perfect hiking tour!

I took the Aizkorri tour with Ernes today. Absolutely amazing experience. We had a great conversation about Basque culture, possible adventures and geopolitics. Ernes and his team travel a lot and they are very knowledgeable about food, drinks and adventures :) We also had a picnic made of local food. Delicious!

I'm very happy I took this tour as without Ernes it would have been very very hard to get to this mountain on my own. I have hiked around Europe quite a lot and it's my goal to cross Pyrenees next year and Ikusnahi team gave me a lot of tips on the crossing as they also have a base in the mountains!

I fell in love with San Sebastian and Ikusnahi Tour is a major reason for that! Highly recommended :)
