Haize 2.10 Lakora Map

That’s my best discovery of the second book. You start hiking in a canyon you’ll never imagine it could be here in the Basque Country, with several falls and deep forest, it’s very calm and peaceful, then you reach a large grassy plateau and you take the path for summit hike to Lakora. I had one of my best bivouac here, with a crazy sunset and sunrise on Basque Country fields and Pyrenean chain. One more time it is has every hike in Basque Country very diversify, you start with a large forest path, after a grassy plateau and then you finish by a thin aerial path cruising between peaks to reach Lakora and it’s a sportive hike cause it’s 20 km and 1700 m+ !

Description

Eclipsée par sa sœur la gorge de Kakouéta, la gorge d’Ehujarré, beaucoup plus paisible est elle aussi une magnifique curiosité géologique. Au départ de Sainte-Engrâce le chemin traverse en premier une grande partie de forêt. On croise à plusieurs reprises le cours d’eau qui s’efface parfois au profit de cavités souterraines et ressort par résurgence à différents endroits.
