Tiny Tour | Espot Spain | 4h Hiking in National Park Aiguestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici |2022 Oct

We spent only 4 hours in this short hike in this National Park, mainly going around the Sant Maurici d'Espot and Estany de Ratera.
Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park is one of the 15 Spanish national parks, and the only one located in Catalonia.
The park has an elevation range of 1600 to 3000 metres and contains four major vegetation zones: lower montane, upper montane, subalpine and alpine.
On the west side, from the village of Boí, is the Aigüestortes plain. Aigüestortes means "winding waters" and is largely flat which allows the river to meander and flow slowly. This area indicates the existence of an old lake, today covered by sediment.
To the east, near the village of Espot, is Sant Maurici lake, one of the most famous of the region, from where one can see the spectacular twin peaks of the Encantats. This picture is one of the symbols of the park and is the logo of the park.
Espot is a municipality in Lérida. It is located in the Espot valley, east of the Noguera Pallaresa River, in the Catalan region of Pallars Sobirá. It is one of the entrances to the Aigüestortes y Lago de San Mauricio national park.
