If the vehicle have left at the Shrine of Our Lady of La Antigua, crossed the road to Lendon and take the path that is oriented towards the visible Txarlazo near some electrical towers.
After 10 minutes we went through a metal door with horizontal barrier (soil) for livestock and behind that there is an intersection of tracks. We track the right direction Txarlazo. Soon we'll get the path marked out on our left (0.25 pm). This magnificent path that gives loops through the beech forest we will stop the descent. For now continue on the track slowly clawing vertical meters and enjoying, why not the landscape that offers this sharp track. Always walk along the main track, ignoring others that go left or right. The ascent route we will be done entirely track (... in the final stages the track becomes a dirt road).

Again the weather is allied with us this weekend. It started raining at the start of travel to then cleared and the sun.
ibón
The ascent of Acherito is one of the most classic hiking Subordán Valley.

The north ibón is protected by high cliffs that are several peaks, among which are the Mallo The Foyas and Pico Larraille or Arraya of Foyas, which overlooks the nearby valley of Lescun. We, in this short loop, just going to ascend to the Mall of the Foyas.

One way to do a good lap and lengthen the route and its hardness, is to travel around the Puerto del Palo going across the top of Pico L'edge, where you will get no marked trail and "the brave."

Guarrinza Most people have a habit of driving to a small open road to the old haunt of mine Guarrinza, after crossing the bridge by passing water from the gullies of Acherito and Las Foyas flowing into the Subordán Aragon. In our case, as we have a habit of using the vehicle off the asphalt that is necessary, we leave this designated area starting from here the route.
see a dirt track down to our left, parallel to the river Subordán. Descend to it and we upstream. A short pass to the other side across a bridge. It tracks and just under 10 minutes to reach the small plaza that has been discussed earlier. We reached a trail junction, and the beginning of the increases to Chipeta, Ibón of Acherito and Puerto de Palos. The track goes to the old shelter Guarrinza Mine, whose origin is at the height of the bridge across the ravine Acherito. We took a good path along the shore left bank (right side) of the stream. Then we crossed a fence that marks the boundary between the municipalities of Anso and Echo. After 300 m. will reach the confluence of the ravine that come along with the Las Foyas. We trace
the ravine to the northeast of Las Foyas forest with a small shelter located on the sunny side of Buxe reference. The trail crosses the stream and climb up a steep slope to a narrowing of the gorge. In this area, and after two revolts created the path to the Port of Palos.

0.35 h. Cross / Pto. Palos-Ibón
Facing follow the path to Puerto de Palos, where we go down to the back if we do not get lost.
Now follow the path of the left, to the Ibón of Acherito. We gain altitude over the ravine with the peak Chipeta front.
After a hard continuous but not very strong, reached a grassy knoll or spur in the ravines that separate Acherito and The Foyas, where we stop to enjoy the view again as they expand both NW and the SE (1 h. 20 min.).
peaks are known and their silhouettes are etched in our memory long ago. NOT continue to the small crossing scree that descend from the crests of Mallo Cristian rocks.
comfortable also enjoy this pleasant stretch of the natural landscape with an abundance of heather, juniper, Daphne and which stand up to the last, although stunted pines.
The ibón is very close, less than a quarter of an hour from the scree.

2.00 h. Ibon of Acherito
Ibón of Acherito Met (1,875 m.).
Despite being on the doorstep of June and with a pleasant temperature, the waters of this beautiful ibón ......., still frozen so it's small bathroom will be left for another day. To our right is the Mall of the Foyas. Ibón On the left is a small grassy knoll from which you can enjoy a splendid foreground Ibón. And leaving it behind us revel with the view of the mountains before us, so close, it seems that they can touch. We leave the Ibón of Acherito as we ascend to the Mall of The Foyas visible. We follow the ridge, which closes this little circus right up near the rocky cliffs.
path traces disappear and start the upload directory, now by snow. Luckily it was fine to walk around and even crampons were needed (although this, as always, is very subjective ......) Aligns with the last txanpa to a small hill to the right of the top and, and without snow, this discrete crown top.

2,45 h. Mallo de Las Foyas
En la cima no hay buzón, tan sólo un pequeño montón de piedras unas sobre otras.

Panorámica desde la cima
La panorámica que nos ofrece esta desconocida cima es impresionante, así que a disfrutar de ella y del buen tiempo (hoy por estos parajes no sopla el viento). Si iniciamos la vista de Oeste a Norte veremos la muralla que se inicia en Chipeta con las cimas de Petraficha, Quimboa, Gamueta, Acherito, Petrechema, Hiru Erregeen Mahaia y tras éste Anie pyramid / Auñamendi. At our feet is the Ibón of Acherito. Already north, in front of us, La Peña del Ibón and small circus that make up these walls to Larraille Peak on our right. Behind some distance, the mountains Lescun Valley. Al NE peak is seen Lariste, looking proud on The Foyas of Santa Maria. already looking to the east you can see the port of Palos, and after this the shape of the Midi d'Ossau, almost always visible from any top of the Pyrenees. SE and in the distance, the duo of Anayet, Pico and vetica. Something closer to the Tobazo on the winter season Candanchú and behind it the shovel and the wall Ip which is the unmistakable silhouette Circus to another; Collarada. As we go down to the south is the trilogy of Aspe, Acher Bisaurín and castle, among others. look crossed with the Mouth of Hell, to reach the Peak Lenita and Peñaforca. Opposite is the "bow" of going to the Grarrinza Chipeta. Behind the wall is seen with the Alans Taxer Pass, visible thanks to the hill of Petraficha. After this hill is still the tailpiece with Petraficha and Quimboa Alto. And so ends this 360-degree view from the top of the Mall of the Foyas.

Descent
The decline is very evident (if you do not find fog). The circus that make these summits helps us in deciding the road. In summer, no snow, you can follow a path to our left, which passes along the hillside below Lerraille (The Grates) to pass it.
From here a path descends to join the next Lariste the hill in the area called The Santa Maria Foyas (+ / - 1700 m.). But this time the hidden snow so we went down the path directly in search of the path, and found almost at the entrance to Bco. of Foyas (3 h. 45 min.) Already
the path is followed to the south and down the gorge to bind very soon we have used for promotion to Ibón of Acherito.
From this moment is to undo this part of the ravine to Guarrinza where we end this discrete circular, ideal for Sunday in a "weekend of Piris. In total we have spent about five hours to perform this circular net.

Note on photos:
For problems with my camera I had to pull the file and put some photos taken in 2006 (panoramic). Luckily, Guille had a camera on top, earning him the "marronazo" of being responsible for the photos of the entire journey. And did very well, so images are the day to news of the climb and the views are only 2006. Mila esker
