The Nacedero del Urederra, meaning “The Source of the Urederra,” is a breathtaking natural spring located in the Urbasa-AndÃa Natural Park in Navarre. Known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and lush surroundings, it is one of the most beautiful natural sites in the region.
The Urederra River emerges from a limestone cliff over 700 meters high, forming a series of cascades and pools as it winds through a dense forest of beech, oak, and ash trees. This unique setting, shaped over thousands of years by the erosive power of water, creates a magical and serene atmosphere.
To visit the Nacedero, travelers can start from the village of Baquedano, where a designated parking area and visitor center provide information about the site. Access to the trail is regulated to preserve the ecosystem, so advance booking is recommended. The well-maintained trail leads visitors on a 6-kilometer round-trip hike, offering stunning views of the waterfalls and pools along the way.
The best time to visit is during spring and autumn when the water flow is abundant, and the surrounding forest is at its most vibrant. With its pristine beauty and tranquil ambiance, the Nacedero del Urederra is a must-see destination for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful escape.
