Georutes
Walk the footsteps of the past
The Catalan Pyrenees guard the secrets of the evolution of our planet and the beings that have lived here throughout history.
The Geoparc itineraries offer the opportunity to experience this history for yourself.
Paleontology
You’ll visit the dinosaurs’ natural habitat and see fossils of their footsteps and bones.
Geology
You’ll see rocks that have been folded and fractured by the tectonic movements that gave rise to the Pyrenees.
Human legacy
You’ll travel through caves that are thousands of years old, mediaeval castles, modernist palaces and hydroelectric power plants.
Nature
You’ll cross forests, climb summits and live alongside the region’s flora and fauna.
