It’s straightforward – just two abseils in a fairly open ravine. The ravine ends at the Chipeta stream; we can exit to the right via any of the escape routes if we don’t want to tackle the section with the pools.

We need to head to the Ansó Valley, very close to Zuriza From Pamplona, take the A21 towards Jaca as far as Berdún, where we’ll turn left onto the A1602 towards Ansó. From Jaca, take the N240 as far as Puente de la Reina, where we’ll turn right towards Hecho onto the A176. Just as you enter Hecho, take the left turn off towards Ansó. At the roundabout at the entrance to Ansó, take the turn-off towards the Zuriza Valley; follow this road to the Zuriza campsite. At the sharp left-hand bend near the Zuriza campsite, a track leads straight on towards Tacheras; follow this route through the open, beautiful valley to the car park.

Access to Mazandu, Achar and Chipeta Following the track we were on, we crossed the bridge and continued uphill towards Los Alanos. After about 20 minutes, we’ll reach a cattle shed. Here we’ll see a path on our left that leads down to the Achar stream
