The Forau of Aiguallut, located in the Benasque Valley, set in the Park Natural Posets Maladeta, is one of the most famous karstic events. It is a spectacular karst sinkhole where the water from three glaciers (Storms, Barrancs and Aneto) will lead to "Forau" a hole 70 meters diameter and 40 deep, that water seeps through an underground river until they appear in the Aran Valley.
This results in a change of fundamental aspects: the water that naturally should be directed towards the Mediterranean, are referred to the Atlantic, mocking the watershed. Located in a beautiful part of the Pyrenees where you can enjoy a spectacular landscape with lush green pines and meadows next to a stunning waterfall, all witnessed by the Aneto, who challenging stood at the back.
