Kingdom of Navarre. Land of diversity

Bertiz Natural Park

Does the idea appeal to you of walking through a beautiful botanical garden to discover such singular species as gingkos from China, sequioas from California, chestnut trees from the Balkans and water lilies? Would you like to get to know friendly animals such as blackbirds, squirrels or woodpeckers? Would you like to spend a quiet day listening to the heartbeat of the forest? All this is possible in the Señorío de Bertiz Natural Park, 2,040 hectares of exuberant vegetation, 49 kilometres north of Pamplona. A green corner of great beauty in the western Pyrenees of Navarre, along the banks of the river Bidasoa.

The Señorío de Bertiz estate belongs to the municipality of Oieregi and 'border' with the Etxalar and with the Baztan valley. Although its origins go back to the end of the 14th century, its present splendour is due to the last Lord of Bertiz, Pedro Ciga, who donated the estate to the Government of Navarre in 1949. The regional government declared it a Natural Park shortly after.
