Autumn Splendor: Exploring Ordesa National Park's Iconic Hiking Trails
Ordesa National Park, nestled in the Aragonese Pyrenees, is gaining recognition as a premier destination for autumn hiking, offering routes that combine challenging ascents with breathtaking natural beauty. One such route, the Senda de los Cazadores leading to the iconic Cola de Caballo waterfall, has been highlighted by travel enthusiast Marta Oyaga, known as "Viajes&planes ✈️" (@viajapi), in a recent video showcasing the park's vibrant autumnal transformation. The journey typically commences from the picturesque village of Torla, Huesca, where visitors take a shuttle bus to the trailhead. The Senda de los Cazadores presents an initial strenuous 3-kilometer climb, characterized by steep zigzags, culminating in the Mirador de Calcilarruego. From this vantage point, hikers are treated to expansive views of the valley, a panorama that "will make you hallucinate with the landscape," as described by the video's narrator. Following the demanding ascent, the path transitions to the Faja de Pelay, a more moderate two-hour trek that skirts the upper reaches of the valley. This segment offers continuous scenic vistas before descending to the main valley floor. The ultimate reward for the strenuous hike is the majestic Cola de Caballo waterfall, a multi-tiered cascade that forms a spectacular natural amphitheater. "It's a whole spectacle that you will remember on your way back," states the narrator, emphasizing the visual impact of the waterfall and the subsequent return path, which passes by other notable cascades like Gradas de Soaso. The park's diverse ecosystem, with its changing foliage and grazing livestock, provides a rich experience for visitors.
