This park is the second oldest in the Iberian Peninsula, it was declared as a protected area in 1918, and it is located in the heart of the Pyrenees of Huesca, entirely in the Sobrarbe region, Aragon. It also has the distinction of World Heritage Site by UNESCO for comprising part of the territory of the Pyrenees - Monte Perdido.

The only national park located in the Catalan Pyrenees, located in four different counties: Aran Valley, Pallars Sobirà, Pallars Jussà and Alta Ribagorça.
