We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
- The routes follow official trails authorized by the park. The trails are cleaned during activities and outings. They promote the shared use of transportation to reach the starting point of the route, thus reducing the associated carbon emissions.
- They propose alternative routes that are less known and less frequented, allowing for a more intimate experience of the environment and distributing the tourist flow away from the most saturated points and times of the year, thus favoring conservation.
- They have installed nesting boxes on the farm to encourage bird nesting.
- They produce their own extra virgin olive oil using traditional techniques combined with advanced technology, which can later be enjoyed at tastings.
- They promote the activities carried out in the western area of the natural park as an offer that facilitates the deconcentration of the overcrowded areas of the protected natural space, while consolidating the link between visitors and this sector of the mountain range.
- We work exclusively with professionals from Villanueva del Arzobispo and the immediate surroundings, contributing to the local economy.
- We collaborate with organic producers, rural lodgings and artisans, promoting tourism that adds value to the territory. Part of the profits from the activity are used to support conservation and environmental education projects in the region, such as participatory reforestations, wildlife monitoring and school campaigns.

Interprets the plants of the Sierra de Cazorla, Segura y las Villlas.
Discover a real plant treasure in the heart of the Natural Park of the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas. The Villanatura Botanical Garden houses more than 200 species of native and endemic plants in a space dedicated to conservation, environmental education and sensory enjoyment. Its location, on the scenic A-6202 road, allows a short drive to the natural park and offers a privileged setting with magnificent views of the Sierra de las Villas.
As you walk along its paths you can admire the diversity of ecosystems represented: aromatic Mediterranean plants, riparian trees, wild flowers, medicinal species and shrubs typical of the scrubland. Each corner of the garden has interpretive signs that help to identify the species, learn about their origin, their traditional uses and curiosities linked to local culture, making it a living space that changes with the seasons.
Ideal for families, schools and groups, this botanical garden invites you to enjoy rest areas and shade, participate in workshops and guided tours with environmental educators and explore corners perfect for photography, observation of pollinating insects and full connection with nature. A place that not only shows biodiversity, but also protects, interprets and shares it.
