At Athara Adventures, we often receive questions about whether travel insurance is included in the cost of our international tours. The short answer is no, it’s not included—and that’s by design.

La France profonde offers a glimpse into the soul of rural France — a slower, more authentic way of life rooted in tradition, nature, and deep local culture. This blog explores how the Pyrenees mountains embody this timeless charm, inviting you to reconnect with yourself, explore expansive horizons, and learn about this special culture.

We chose to base Athara Adventures in the Pyrenees because, in our experience, it is impossible to move through the extraordinary landscape without finding a deep sense of connection growing within. From expansive, breathtaking views to gorges and grottos carved by the glaciers to the hospitality and centuries-old history, we discover something that reaffirms our sense of awe and excitement every day. 

Embark on a journey tailored exclusively for you with Athara Adventures' Private Tours. Whether you're a solo traveler seeking your individually personalized adventure, a couple yearning for a uniquely special getaway, or a group of friends craving an exclusive adventure, our private tours promise a bespoke experience.

This tour combines three beautiful, shorter, and easier hikes spaced apart with visits to historic sites that date back over 1,000 years, local markets that still have a distinctly medieval feel, uniquely delicious local food, and local vineyards for regional wine tastings.
