The route through the Covadonga Lakes allows you to discover one of the most emblematic landscapes of the Picos de Europa National Park, combining nature, history, glacial geology, and cultural heritage. From the Pedro Pidal Interpretation Center to the old Buferrera mines, Lake Ercina, Vega del Bricial, and Lake Enol, the route shows how glaciers, moraines, karst, and mining activity have shaped this unique environment. An easy family excursion to understand the origin of the lakes, the power of ice, and the close relationship between the mountains, shepherds, and the memory of Covadonga.
We travel to the municipality of Onís to visit one of the interpretation centers of eastern Asturias. This center of great geological interest is the only cave included within the Association of Spanish Tourist Caves (ACTE).
