The spiritual heart of Andorra

The Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley is a glacial valley in Andorra. The isolated valley offers visitors the chance to discover the harmony between nature and mankind saved over the years. It covers an area approximately of 43 km² and this represents almost 10% of the surface area of the country. In 2004 it became Andorra’s first, and to date its only, UNESCO World Heritage Site in the cultural landscape category.

A diversity of landscapes, dry stone walls, cottages and country houses, flocks and the uninterrupted presence of human activity recall, without interruptions or alterations, significant periods in individual history. At present the Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley is the scene for new leisure related activities, among which one should note trekking, hiking, camping, hunting and fishing.
