It is a well-known tourist attraction. The site is spectacular and the history of this sinkhole makes it even more special. The best time to visit is in spring, after the ice melts.

In the Forau de Aiguallut, the water of the Aneto glacier disappears underground and emerges in the Val d'Aran as one of the sources of the Garonne.

Hiking

Tour of just an hour and a half in total duration, essential for anyone who travels to the Benasque Valley for the first time, being probably the most visited place in this valley. The Forau de Aiguallut is a chasm through which the waters from the Aneto glacier disappear to resurface again on the surface in the Val de Arán, in the Garona river basin, which flows into the Atlantic Sea in the French city of Bordeaux.
