Autumn Colors: Three Must-Visit Spots to Enjoy Nature

Autumn has arrived, bringing with it one of the most spectacular times of year to enjoy the mountains, the outdoors, and photography. Starting in October, our forests dress up in shades of yellow, red, and ochre, transforming every landscape into a true feast for the senses.

Whether you are passionate about hiking, love photography, or simply want to plan a special getaway with friends or family, here are three top recommendations to connect with our local nature.

1. The Spectacular Aitzondo Waterfall (Aiako Harria Natural Park)

This is one of the hidden gems of the Bidasoa region. Featuring an impressive 140-meter drop, the Aitzondo waterfall is surrounded by a lush forest that looks straight out of a fairy tale at this time of year.
The route also seamlessly blends nature and history, passing very close to the ancient Irugurutzeta kilns—silent witnesses to the area’s rich mining heritage.

2. The Magical Oieleku Beech Forest (Oiartzun)

f you are looking for a getaway surrounded by crisp fallen leaves and ancient, majestic trees, the pollarded beech forest of Oieleku is your ideal destination.

It is a perfect walk to enjoy at an unhurried pace—tailor-made for autumn photography lovers and ideal for families, thanks to the enchanted, mythical atmosphere felt beneath its canopy.

3. Aralar Natural Park Crossing: From Lizarrusti to Guardetxe

Head deep into the heart of the Aralar mountain range, travelling between the Lizarrusti Visitor Center (Gipuzkoa) and the Guardetxe area.

This trail cuts through one of the largest and most breathtaking beech forests in the region—an unmatched backdrop to experience autumn’s vibrant burst of color in full force.
