Where the sun doesn't reach
The Park is located in the Bertizarana Valley, in the north of Navarre . It preserves extensive beech and oak forests.
The temperate, very rainy climate and the few winter frosts have been the best allies for the conservation of this immense Navarrese forest. It is a dense forest of beech and oak trees that almost entirely cover the 2,040 hectares of the Park. Fauna is also an important element of the park. It is not easy to see some of the native species, like the roe deer, red deer and wild boar. However, you can easily to see squirrels, and on less busy days, you can hear the woodpecker.
