We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
- With this activity we want to show you in a pleasant way the fauna and flora of the Mediterranean forest of the Cabañeros National Park and its area of influence. For this we have authorized local guides who offer an insight into the history and way of life of the inhabitants who have preserved this environment.
- The activity is designed for small groups, to minimize negative impacts on the natural environment. Therefore, we avoid the most sensitive areas for flora and fauna depending on the time of year.
- We incorporate in the routes and activities relevant information about the cultural heritage, the use of resources and traditional trades practiced in the area and the historical role of the local population in the conservation and shaping of the landscape we see today. We support small local commerce by purchasing all products in local stores.
- We actively collaborate with the National Park, as well as with conservationist organizations that carry out fauna and/or flora monitoring activities: Spanish Herpetological Association (AHE) and Esparvel.
