What To Expect
Day trip and trekking in Picos de Europa, to Lake Moñetas, from the surroundings of the Sotres curvona. The proposed route consists of a one-day excursion into the central massif of Picos de Europa.
We start from the Sotres plain, very close to the famous town, one of the most characteristic of PIcos de Europa.
In the first section of the route, we will travel through a part of the Sotres plain, and then take a detour to face a path with a constant climb, but not excessively hard at any point.
During the route, we will go from pastures for livestock to a progressive absence of vegetation, until we reach a completely rocky environment.
The last section is dominated by limestone rock, until reaching a small glacial lake in the heart of the central massif of Picos de Europa.
Lake Moñetas, despite being isolated from the rest of the surrounding lakes, has an important wealth of amphibians. Likewise, it usually changes color, from a bluish tone during the thaw to a greenish tone (produced by algae) during the summer season.
We will return via the same outward route.
