We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
1. With this experience we all collaborate with the work of the volunteers of Sierra Nevada, since 5% of the amount of the experience without VAT is destined to the projects they carry out.
2.- All actions related to the activity and that consume energy -before being carried out in the office, in the origin-destination route and in the activity itself- are compensated with the certified project Neutro Carbón collaborating in reforestation in the Piornal Cacereño.
3. Special prices in low season outside of national holidays and during the week. Singular tour different from that taken by most visitors.
4. At the end of the experience we offer lunch in a local restaurant with which we collaborate.

Discover and taste the "pajuna cow" with her cowboy Torcuato.
The pajuna cow herd is one of the singularities of the Sierra Nevada. Very few cows in the Sierra are purebred and even fewer live up to the natural and ecological pastures throughout the summer. In this activity we will visit and taste the meat of the cows of Torcuato, one of the last transhumant cowboys of the Sierra Nevada.
After meeting Torcuato at the Puerto de la Ragua we will take a walk of an hour and a half to the refuge of Las Chorreras. On the way we will discover the flora of the place and the immense landscapes of the Sierra Nevada will open before us. It is quite an experience to walk with Torcuato, who tells us stories about his cattle, his way of life, the pastures and plants of Sierra Nevada.
When we arrive at the waterfalls Torcuato summons his cows, his call is a magnet; from every corner we start to hear the cowbells of the animals that come to the voice of their owner and pass in front of our surprised eyes.
It is an exciting moment!
After having a snack of local products we go back down to the place where we left the cars, now it's time to use another sense, the taste, we go to a local restaurant that will have prepared a menu to taste the meat of this breed raised in the pastures of Sierra Nevada, a day of countryside and coexistence with local hosts luxury!
