Gorges de Kakouetta

The Kakuetta Gorges extend through limestone formations with walls reaching 350 meters high, creating a natural corridor along a flowing river.

Explorer Edouard-Alfred Martel conducted the first documented exploration of the Kakuetta Gorges in 1906, mapping passages previously known only to local farmers.

The gorges served as escape routes for resistance fighters during World War II, with local residents helping individuals cross the border into Spain.

The site operates from March to November, requiring appropriate hiking footwear, and features wooden pathways that guide visitors through a 2-3 hour journey.

A twenty-meter waterfall marks the culmination of the trail, where visitors can walk behind the cascading water through specially constructed platforms.
