Obaga is a Catalan outdoor activity provider specializing in guided nature and astronomy experiences around Aigüestortes and Alt Pirineu. The company offers four core trips: telescopi i tast de licors/infusions (astronomy session with local spirits tasting), lluna, pícnic i astro (moonlit hike with picnic), senderisme pel Parc Nacional (3–4 hour guided hike in Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici), and la brama del cérvol (dawn or dusk deer rut viewing). Each experience emphasizes small-group encounters, expert interpretation, and respectful wildlife observation. Guides explain natural and cultural stories, local ecology, and nocturnal astronomy while keeping safety and low environmental impact top priorities. Obaga partners with local producers to source picnic ingredients and regional spirits used in tastings, supporting the rural economy and authentic local flavor. Activities occur in protected landscapes where permits and park regulations apply; Obaga operates within those rules and plans routes suited to seasonal conditions. The business appeals to travelers seeking immersive, low-impact outdoor adventures, including families, couples, and nature enthusiasts. Booking information, meeting points, and seasonal availability vary by trip and are provided at reservation. Weather and park conditions can affect schedules; alternative dates or routes are arranged when necessary. Safety briefings, appropriate gear recommendations, and group size limits are part of each booking. Obaga’s focus on interpretation, local partnerships, and small-group design creates reliable, educational outdoor experiences across Catalonia’s national and natural parks.
Detailed pre-trip information and clear cancellation policies are provided at booking to ensure transparency and customer confidence across seasons and weather, safely managed.
