Magnificent view of several water falls can be seen. One of the must see place in Pyrenees.

Super!

A World Heritage Site and rightly so. A majestic amphitheatre of rock and waterfalls that puts you in your place in the grand scheme of things. Hugely majestic. Worth the scramble and scrabble knee deep in scree to get up to the waterfall, even if you do get rewarded with a soaking from the spray. Magnificent!
