Foz de Lumbier (Irunberriko Arroila) is a spectacular gorge located near the town of Lumbier. The gorge itself is 1300 meters long and was formed by the force of the Irati River.

Espagnol: La ruta por la Foz de Lumbier es uno de los tesoros escondidos del Pirineo Navarro. La Foz de Lumbier es un gran cañón que transcurre por el río Irati, cerca de la Sierra de Leyre, con un 1 kilómetro aproximadamente de longitud cuyas paredes verticales llegan a alcanzar los 400 metros de altura. Durante el recorrido se pueden encontrar buitres leonados y el alimoche, una colonia de aves rapaces protegida, por lo que se declaró esta zona Reserva Natural.
The Lumbier Gorge is located about 40 kilometers from Pamplona. There is a large parking lot where you can get a map at an office. Click on the P in the map for directions. Unlike many other gorges, the Lumbier can be traversed by means of two simple footpaths at the foot of the cliffs. These are clearly signposted, although they lead through two tunnels without any artificial light. The walk is over 2.5 km long. Keep in mind that it can be very hot in the summer. Take plenty of water with you.

Espagnol: Su garganta espectacular se llama así por Lumbier, localidad más cercana al cañón situada a unos 40 kilómetros de Pamplona. El parking es de pago en determinadas épocas del año (Semana Santa a Diciembre). Haga clic en la P en el mapa para obtener direcciones. Al contrario que otras muchas gargantas, la de Lumbier puede ser recorrida a través de dos sencillos caminos al pie de los acantilados. Estos están señalizados pero atraviesan dos túneles que carecen de luz artificial.
