Description of Ruta del Cares

Doing the famous Ruta del Cares is one of the strongest reasons why so many visitors come to Asturias. We do this 11-kilometer hiking route in the Picos de Europa National Park , in the eastern part of the region. But we are not only dedicated to hiking , because 4x4 routes are our other specialty. We have access to restricted roads in the Picos de Europa, so you can enjoy the engine and speed of an off-road vehicle in a paradise.

The Ruta del Cares passes through the gorges of the homonymous river, and is the gorge that separates the Cornión (western) massif from the Urrieles (central) massif. The trail is low difficulty , suitable for the whole family and for tourists who want to get to know this natural setting without making a huge physical effort.

The 4x4 routes are exciting. We will go aboard our Jeep on dirt roads in routes of 4 hours , in the part before or after the Ruta del Cares. The collection points are Caín and Poncebos , and we will make you an interpretive route in which you can learn the history of the peoples of this part of Asturias and the evolution of the livestock lifestyle in the area.

Which prefer? The best thing is that you can choose both activities.

Description of Ruta del Cares Hiking

The Ruta del Cares is a mandatory trail if you like nature and come to Asturias . With almost 12 kilometers of route, these roads cross the Cares river valley in the Asturian Picos de Europa .

Located in the southeast of the province, it is an important enclave due to the natural separation of the western and central massifs, which is why it is known as the Divine Throat . So we will go on a low difficulty hiking route guarded by the peaks of Urrieles and Cornión.

We will start the route from Poncebos , walking up a climb of about 1 kilometer and a half and a descent of 600 meters. The difference is very low, so the physical effort will be small and suitable for children, youth and adults at an acceptable level. The most complicated, and at the same time the most exciting thing about walking this trail, apart from the views, is the rock floor. Irregular, but totally natural, it will put us fully into a rural and mystical environment.

You will see the livestock life of this area, walking close to the cows and sheep that have served as food for many Asturian generations for centuries, in a landscape that fortunately remains intact.

Bring comfortable clothing and footwear for the mountain, because this tour is so well known that you will regret it if you come near here and do not do it.

Description of Ruta del Cares 4x4 Tours

Do you like country routes driving an SUV? The Cares River Gorge , in the Picos de Europa, has dirt trails between mountains that will make you want to take the wheel of a 4x4 to explore nature for hours most beautiful in eastern Asturias.

The 4x4 route that we organize is interpretive, in which we will go through restricted roads for most vehicles except for our clients. These permits allow us to step on the accelerator in the valley formed by this stream between the central and western massifs, better known as Urrieles and El Cornión , respectively.

There are two starting options. One is at 10 in the morning from Cangas de Onís , passing through Sajambre and ending in Caín at 2 in the afternoon. There is the option of hiring a picnic or a menu of homemade Asturian food to complete the experience.

The other alternative is to leave Caín at 15:30, doing the interpretive route to the other side and with the afternoon lights.

Both tours last 4 hours , enough time to feel the impressive environment that the Picos de Europa offer thanks to an all-terrain vehicle that can handle anything. The guide will make several stops to contemplate the landscape that surrounds us, with binoculars with which to observe the species of birds and other animals that inhabit these rocks. In addition, he will explain the livestock life of the villages that are still inhabited in this area.

Go ahead and come to Asturias, the Cares route awaits you in a 4x4.
