This glacial cirque, the destination of the most popular route in the Ordesa Valley, is as impressive from above as it is from below. At the foot runs the Arazas River; on the sides, huge limestone walls. On one side you can see the Path of the Hunters and, in the background, the Cola de Caballo waterfall and the peaks of Monte Perdido and Cilindro de Marboré.

Very beautiful basin in which the much-visited waterfall "Cola de Caballo" (Horsetail) is located.
The meadows surrounded by high, imposing cliffs are used as pastureland.

If you are around here, you should definitely take the time to come here. Worth it. If you like to be with a lot of people, the best time to come is at the weekend.

What to say about the Circo de Ordesa? Without a doubt one of the most beautiful places on our planet! The Cathedral of hiking and mountaineering in Spain! Beautiful at any time of the year.
