Barranco de Peñalén

This is an area of outstanding natural beauty, a large part of which is included in the Natura 2000 biodiversity protection network. Important pages in the history of the old Kingdom of Navarre have also been written here, such as the regicide of Sancho Garcés IV, who was pushed off the Peñalén viewpoint in Funes by his brothers in the 11th century. From this privileged vantage point over the confluence of the Arga and Aragón rivers, you can see the route you have taken.

The ride begins in Peralta, going around the Sierra de Vallacuera, a common location for cycling events. The second part of the route takes you through the Barranco de Peñalén ravine. The area is dotted with trails for all levels and here we have selected an intermediate-level one, which requires some skill on a bike.

The route chosen allows you to discover what is known as Navarre’s Ribera Alta region, combining nature and history to enjoy a unique experience.
