The best times to visit the Estaña Lagoons are spring and autumn/winter, times of greatest rainfall.

The Estaña lagoons are a natural landscape formed by three inland lakes, also known as Ibónes in Aragonese or Estany in Catalan. These lakes form in areas where the terrain is at a lower elevation, causing rainwater and snowmelt to accumulate. Ibónes or estanys are much more common in mountainous areas like the Pyrenees, and their formation in a predominantly arid and relatively flat area is noteworthy. These bodies of water provide areas of great biodiversity, as they create ideal habitats for migratory birds and other animals less typical of the region.

If you have to use a vehicle, it has to be an all-terrain vehicle with four-wheel drive. It's better to leave it with another vehicle. The road is bad, with loose stones, and if you get a puncture, will they come to help you?

Well-known concrete bridge that crosses one end of the Canelles reservoir to connect this part of Montsec.

Bring a lot of water. No water fountain is available.

The approach by bike from Estopinyan is recommended, even if you can go there by car...

Bridge to cross the Canelles reservoir. There is also a car parking area to start the hike to Finestres

It's a shame about this place and its history, as always people look for other places where they can survive more comfortably and places as beautiful as this one are left behind, abandoned, and left to their own devices....😢
