Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park

Limestone canyons, cirques and waterfalls around Monte Perdido in the Aragonese Pyrenees

Glaciers and rivers have carved deep canyons, U-shaped valleys and cirques into the limestone massif of Monte Perdido, known locally as the Tres Sorores. Four valleys, Ordesa, Añisclo, Escuaín and Pineta, each give the park a different character.
