Beloaventura

The Sierra de la Demanda is the environment that in Beloaventura we use to develop our activities. Based in the town of Belorado, we have what you need and more every time you feel like doing something different and outdoors in the north of the capital of Burgos.

Our main features are a summary of what you may need for your leisure time:

- To sleep: we have our own youth hostel with large capacity. Its great advantage is that it is located just over twenty kilometers from the French Camino de Santiago, making it the perfect place if you are passing through as a pilgrim.

- To practice active sports: in Garanchón we have installed a multi-adventure park where you can climb, rappel and try a vertigo zip line 15 meters above the ground.

- To try extreme disciplines or for the whole family: we can go to the Pedroso canyon for a canyon descent, to explore the Fuentemolinos cave, to take a bicycle, walking or off-road excursion. We can also make you paraglide or participate in a paintball battle or an archery session.

Beloaventura makes you an invitation that is difficult to refuse: A paintball battle in one of the two fields that we have arranged in the area of Belorado, in the east of the province of Burgos. Eliminating the rival and taking the flag are the two star modes of our game offer. Between forests and undergrowth or between abandoned houses.

We are divided into two camps that have different characteristics that also lead to different battles:

• In the Pinar de Cepeda: Located in the municipality of Belorado you will find a closed field full of pine trees and bushes with wooden parapets and other elements in which it will be easy to hide from the rival.
• Urban paintball in the abandoned town of Castril de Carrias: Here the games go more slowly since the abandoned houses are very good for hiding, so strategy will be even more important if possible.

The referees will ensure that certain rules established for the development of the chosen game are respected.

You will have the security elements and the marker gun available from the organization.

We take you along mountain routes of the Sierra de la Demanda and around the municipality of Belorado, where we are located, discovering places of Castilian fields and valleys and mountains of the Sierra de Urbión.

We have a selection of routes among which these stand out:

• Ascension to San Millán peak, which we will reach starting from Santa Cruz del Valle Urbión
• Pozo Negro from Fresneda
• Santa Cruz Waterfalls
• Alba Swamp
• Circular route to Eterna

The hiking walks will be guided by an instructor who, in addition to taking you along the correct paths, will provide interesting knowledge about the area.

You will have a map of the chosen route as well as a drink.

We will explore roads, paths, paths, Roman roads and other routes discovering the natural environment of Burgos and the north of Soria.

For 4 hours you will be able to feel nature very closely as you travel through it at full speed in a powerful and adventurous 4x4 off-road vehicle. We tour the region around Belorado, east of Burgos and the surroundings of the Demanda mountain range.

You can decide between countryside or mountains to do the 4x4 route. An alternative way to hiking and other ways to explore the most vibrant countryside. Always respecting the environment, we only drive through the roads, not leaving them.

We will arrive at points totally isolated from civilization, where Castilian nature will manifest itself in all its splendor, with you being an exceptional witness.

From our departure in Belorado, east of Burgos capital, until we reach the Sierra de la Demanda, we climb and return, it will take approximately half a day.

The basic sport climbing technique consists of driving artificial anchors into the rock to achieve support and be able to progress safely up the wall.

You will learn all this operation with simple steps and short climbs.

For those already initiated and seeking greater autonomy, we guide them through more complicated places in which to express their climbing abilities and skills.

The cavity was formed approximately 35 million years ago by calcareous materials of large cemented boulders. This composition prevents the appearance of caves in most cases, and even less extensive caves like the one at Fuentemolinos.

Visit this geological rarity in the province of Burgos, near the town of Puras de Villafranca, between the Demanda mountain range and the Oca mountains.
