At 9:00 in the morning you stay in the Parking of Salardú, where we will travel by car on the dirt track of Liat, about 8 km. It is recommended that the vehicles be of type 4x4, (there is the possibility of contracting taxi service for the group).
The duration of the route is about 5 hours, as we will stop to describe and interpret both the morphology of the landscape, as well as the mining resources of the area, tell a little history of mining the Aran Valley and discover the harsh conditions in which the miners had to work. We will have the opportunity to live in our meats, the experience of entering one of the mouths and feeling some of the minerals that were extracted.
