Nacedero del Urederra hike

121a Calle la Fuente, Baquedano, Navarra

Description

The Nacedero de Urederra hike is a 6km out-and-back near the source of the Urederra river (meaning "beautiful water" in Basque) in the Urbasa-Andía Natural Park of western Navarra. The source is the natural outlet of an aquifer and is noteworthy for the various pools of turquoise water and small rapids & waterfalls. The cumulative ascent is only ~250m and the trail is not technical so it is suitable for inexperienced hikers.

Access & Transport

The trail head (and parking) are located in Baquedano, 18km north of Estella and 60km west of Pamplona (A-12 expressway and take exit 40 towards Estella) Street parking in the town of Baquedano is prohibited (except for residents) so a paid parking must be used

Instructions & Recommendations

Since 2019 access is restricted to 500 persons per day and online booking is required (on this website: https://urederra.amescoa.com/) and the last few hundred meters to the source are no longer accessible. Bathing is not allowed in the natural pools. Make sure to wear shoes with a good grip.

Meta review

One of the most popular all-level hikes in western Navarra, it is described by online reviewers as easy (with benches to rest) and beautiful with clear water and gorgeous blue-colored pools. The car park appears to be well signposted and the small town offers both picnic and restaurant options to round up the excursion.

Environmental & Social

Eco-friendly activity. Socially marginally positive as it potentially brings some revenues to the surrounding villages

Conclusion

The Nacedero del Urederra is a pleasant walk with beautiful streams. Do not expect high mountain vistas here. Best for families and those looking to explore the region in depth.

Key positive

Enjoyable for all levels of fitness

Key negative

Need to book parking & access ahead of time

Suitability

Only a minimum fitness level is required, which makes it suitable for families. Not accessible for anybody with reduced mobility
