The Améscoas

The Améscoas

Las Améscoas, the source of the Urederra, combines nature, pastoral culture, heritage and gastronomy in the heart of Urbasa and Andía.
The Las Améscoas area, comprising the valleys of Améscoa Alta and Améscoa Baja, is home to a cluster of small villages surrounded by some of the most spectacular landscapes in Tierra Estella Lizarraldea. The Urbasa and Andía Natural Park, Monte Limitaciones and the iconic source of the River Urederra are among Navarre’s most notable natural landmarks. The region’s identity has been deeply rooted in pastoral culture, which for centuries has shaped the landscape, traditions and way of life of its inhabitants. Its natural wealth, rural heritage and renowned cuisine make Las Améscoas one of the most authentic regions of Tierra Estella/Lizarraldea.
