Estany de Sant Maurici, Nature’s Screensaver IRL

#summervacay Estany de Sant Maurici is the kind of place that makes you stop mid-hike and just go, “Whoa.” Sitting right in the heart of Aigüestortes National Park, this lake is surrounded by towering mountains, pine trees, and views that are basically nature’s flex. Oh, and let’s not forget the iconic twin peaks of Els Encantats looking all majestic in the background. The hike to get there is super scenic, with wooden walkways, streams, and random “omg take a pic” moments every few minutes. When you finally reach the lake, it’s all peaceful vibes, mirror-like water, and fresh air that just hits different. You can chill by the shore, have a snack, take a million photos, or keep hiking to other nearby lakes and waterfalls. There’s no wrong way to enjoy this place. It’s perfect for a day trip or the start of a bigger adventure. Estany de Sant Maurici isn’t just a lake, it’s a whole mood. Calm, beautiful, and totally worth the hike.
