Ponga Natural Park Excursion
Ponga Natural Park Excursion
At the indicated time, we'll meet you in front of the Oviedo train station and head by minibus to the Natural Park of Ponga, 1 hour 30 minutes away from the city. Did you know that this is the least densely populated council of Asturias?
On this journey through the park, we’ll encounter wildlife such as capercaillies, wolves, and deer. With a bit of luck and favorable weather, we might even spot a European brown bear in its natural habitat.
Our first stop will be the Caño salmon spawning station, followed by a drive through the Beyos Gorge as we make our way to the village of Casielles. Next, we’ll visit the Les Bedules viewpoint, offering breathtaking views of the eastern massif of the Picos de Europa mountain range and the Ponga River valley. Don’t forget your camera—this spot is a photographer’s dream!
We’ll then descend through the valley to the charming village of Sobrefoz, where you’ll have an hour of free time to enjoy lunch and soak in the local atmosphere.
Finally, we'll return to the meeting point, arriving nine and a half hours after departure.
