Explore the most impressive landscapes of the Navarrese desert and discover its secrets
First Stop
Cabezo de Marijuán
Our adventure begins at one of the most spectacular spots in the Bardenas Reales.
From the top of the hill, the Bardena Blanca stretches to the horizon in a golden and endless landscape.

Descent of Bardena Blanca
After the panoramic view, we began an exciting descent along paths that change color and texture at every turn.
Amidst the ochre tones of the desert, the rice paddies emerge, a surprising green oasis in the midst of aridity.
route
Bardena Blanca
The route continues towards the wildest heart of the Bardenas , along an exclusive and solitary path.
The buggy’s wheels traverse terrain sculpted by centuries of erosion, where folds and cracks create a unique landscape .
Suddenly, after a short climb, the horizon changes completely: the Bardena Negra emerges, a natural wall of dark mountains that contrasts with the light tones of the desert.
A spectacle of color and form, and undoubtedly one of the most impressive moments of the route.


Second Stop
Curtain header
After crossing the Bardenas and passing by the NATO military base, the setting for Ridley Scott’s The Counselor , we arrive at Cortinillas , one of the most emblematic areas of the park.
The setting for filming and advertising for brands like Cartier, Jeep or Citroën , it surprises with its light tones and impossible formations , where the land seems to defy gravity.
From here you can see the views of the Bardena Blanca and the famous Cabezo de Piskerra , featured in productions such as Game of Thrones.
An iconic and photogenic spot that sums up all the magic of the Bardenas Reales.
Third Stop
Castildetierra
The jewel of the Bardenas Reales: Castildetierra .
The iconic earth tower that rises majestically above the desert.
Its almost cinematic silhouette leaves anyone who sees it speechless. This unique formation, an undisputed symbol of the Bardenas Reales, attracts thousands of visitors every year.
An essential and perfect stop to end our route before returning to the starting point.


Route
Rice fields
The return path winds through rice fields that contrast with the reddish terrain of the nearby hills.
On one side, the bright green of the crops; on the other, the warm tones of the earth.
A vibrant and lively stretch where nature and agriculture coexist in harmony.
Return
Mejana del Ebro
In the last few kilometers, the landscape changes completely. We leave the desert behind and enter a greener area , accompanied by the Ebro River , a vital source of water for this entire region.
During rainy seasons, the river turns a chocolate brown color, carrying sediment back to the sea.
Its waters guide us back to the base, where this unforgettable off-road experience through the Bardenas Reales ends.
