Kampaoh Sierra de Urbasa

One of the real draws of this site is the fact that you’ll be able to wander straight out onto hiking trails if you want to. One of the best is the hour-and-a-half walk to the Nacedero del Urederra nature reserve, which has a waterfall and a gleaming turquoise pool (you can also drive there in 10 minutes). Other walks nearby might take you to historic sights like the Dolmen La Cañada (15 minutes’ drive) or Mendiola dolmen (45 minutes), or through the forest to the Monastery of Iranzu (50 minutes). There's also the chance to get underground at Mendukilo caves (45 minutes) or Cuevas Arrikrutz Kobak (an hour), or get your blood really pumping with adventure activities at Urbasa Abentura (half an hour) and ziplines at Txindokiko Itzala (40 minutes). The city of Vitoria-Gasteiz (50 minutes) makes a good day out, with a wander through the medieval quarter, a visit to the cathedral and some time exploring the Gothic architecture. Alternatively, take a dip into the area’s local produce with a visit to Truffle Museum Navarra (40 minutes) and a tour of the vines at Bodegas Pago de Larrainzar (45 minutes).
