Looking for a tour that will let you get to know the Valle Noroeste in Andorra?
Andorra’s Valle Noroeste contains some of the best preserved natural sites in the Principality. The valley lies very close to the French border and combines, in a perfect fusion, the wildest nature with the most traditional culture. Which is why the area has become one of the most popular places for an original day trip.
You can visit the Valle Noroeste on your own, provided you have your own vehicle, but you are likely to miss some of the most charming spots in the area. Accompanied by a local guide, you will capture the purest essence of this area and fall in love with it from the first minute.
