Overview
Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park is an IUCN Category II National Park situated in the Pyrenees
Description
This is where the Spanish Pyrenees really take your breath away. The park extends south from a dragon's back of limestone peaks along the French border: a southeastward spur from this includes Monte Perdido (3355m), the third-highest peak in the Pyrenees. Deep valleys slice down from the high ground. Most were carved by glaciers and at their heads lie bowl-like glacial circus (cirques) backed by spectacular curtain walls of rock. Chief among the valleys are Ordesa (west), Añisclo (south), Escuaín (southeast) and Pineta (east).
