Cultural Travel

At Cultural Travel we are approaching two decades in the management of activities that combine leisure and nature . We do not limit ourselves to the organization of sports individually, but we are able to offer each one of them as part of a complete trip with transportation and accommodation . We work both in the surroundings of our headquarters in Granada , as well as in national destinations where adventurers usually concentrate, such as the Asturian and Galician Communities.

With a highly trained team and specialists in all types of active tourism, our options are varied and planned in detail so that no one misses the wonders that our environment offers:

• Aerial activities : we organize plane flights along the coast of Granada, Sierra Nevada or the Costa Tropical as well as spectacular walks balloon at sunrise.

• Aquatic adventures in the sierra : such as canyoning , rafting or hydrospeed , using the white waters of the rivers that descend from Sierra Nevada.

• Services at sea : this is the case of boat fishing, diving or trips for whale watching , < strong> boat trips , paddle surf routes or jet skis ...

In addition, we travel to Morocco to show you with our routes in 4x4 vehicles, always with transport and guide throughout the trip.

Specialists in groups of 20 or more people, we do not organize activities below this figure, we know how to make you have a great time with the usual ones while you get to know amazing places.

At Cultural Travel we accompany you on your day of deep sea fishing . This discipline will allow you to relax and learn to use patience as a tool that will be extremely useful to succeed in this sport.

Practicing from a boat offers us great advantages over what we can do on dry land since it lends itself to more modalities such as fishing, deep-sea, trolling or bottom . The boat allows us to get closer to certain habitats whose species will determine which option is ideal for capture.

At the same time, we can decide on modalities that include the subsequent release of the specimens obtained, causing a zero impact on the ecosystem.

You can try a group fishing expedition, especially taking advantage of a company or family event, sharing impressions at the end of the day.

We will take care of the material or, if you prefer and you are an expert, you can bring your own to share with the rest of the amateur fishermen the best techniques.

Make your appointment with us if you are at least a group of 20.

At Cultural Travel we will make diving become your favorite sport from the first dive. For this, we will use our activity center from which we move to the Granada coast, the Costa Tropical and points so well known for their wealth among professionals such as La Herradura .

In the event that you are looking for a first contact with the underwater world, we recommend starting with a diving baptism. This experience is shorter than a course but it will be enough for you to discover if you are in the right place without investing too much time or money.

At each baptism you will have:

• The usual equipment, consisting of neoprene, regulator, mask and fins. We will teach you its components and how to use them correctly.

• A short theoretical introduction on how to manage underwater breathing during diving.

• A dive that will be carried out in confined waters and at little or no depth, so that you feel safe and don't lose the feeling of being in control of the situation.

The service is not provided below the 20 participants.

In Cultural Travel we surround ourselves with the natural places that contain the most underground wealth, such as the Natural Parks that we find throughout the province of Granada or in the Sierra de Grazalema .

In addition to operating in the immediate surroundings of our active tourism center, we organize expeditions to the Picos de Europa, the Pyrenees and the Galician Community for groups.

In one of these activities:

• We will have to dedicate a first phase to equip ourselves with a jumpsuit, which will protect our clothes when dragging and sliding between the galleries, a helmet with a frontal light, to illuminate the path of each participant and prevent us from damaging any small detachment, and a harness in the event that the cavity we visit requires us to use rappelling.

• Inside the cave we should not lose sight of the monitor, we will remain in a group and follow his instructions on how to move on the next obstacle.

Simply, with these tips, we can devote the rest of our attention to not losing detail of the incredible formations that we will find in our path.

The expedition is organized from 20 hikers.
