Horizon Naturaleza y Aventura

At Horizon Nature and Adventure we consider all of our activities from the perspective of our close to two decades of experience. All of them are governed, firstly, by strictly complying with the requirements for your safety and secondly, by taking care of their quality since we like to guarantee that you take advantage of your free time with good results.

Among our entire catalog we recommend:

- Canoeing: in addition to sailing on Lake Zahara we can integrate it into gymkhanas to compete in groups, with activities such as kayak routes, tests of ingenuity such as building rafts and skill such as archery.

- Canyoning: it is the queen activity and in different locations such as the Garganta Verde, La Garganta de Las Buitreras, Río Verde, El Barranco de La Sima del Diablo or the original descent of Tajo de Ronda in the city of the same name.

- Mountain bike: routes along the Sierra de Grazalema greenway at a pace adapted to visitors.

- Caving: in cavities in the provinces of Cádiz and Málaga, with proposals of up to several kilometers of galleries.

- Paintball: the popular war game in which you can mark the enemy without taking pity on him.

- Hiking: varied routes through the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, unusual and unique places that can be approached with different levels of difficulty.

- Climbing: it is one of the best-known sports disciplines and consists of ascending a natural rock wall secured by a rope. Rappelling is the descent made with the rope to go down from the top of the mountain.

- Vías Ferratas: this is the most fun and safest practice in climbing. Any route is full of anchors and locks that facilitate access and ignite the adrenaline, with zip lines, bridges and truly exciting techniques.

- Multi-adventures: this activity offers groups a fun competition and variety of tests, including climbing, rappelling, zip-lining, orienteering, archery, games, paintball, etc., it is a very suitable activity for the groups.

We also operate aerial disciplines such as paragliding or captive balloon flights, just ask us for all the details.

If you are attracted to canyoning in the Sierra de Grazalema Horizon Naturaleza y Aventura presents you with the most beautiful and exciting canyons in the province of Cádiz and its surroundings. Accompanied by our guides, you will have a fun day.

Come with us until:

- El Cañón de las Buitreras: this is an unimaginable ravine, with high walls, exciting landscapes, majestic flights of vultures, spectacular formations and a lot of excitement and fun, releasing adrenaline and collecting a lot of energy! The best time of year to visit it is between July and December, it takes a bit of a wait, but it's worth it! Very respectable and disturbing, the Buitreras Canyon.

- Garganta Verde: it is one of the most popular canyons in the south of the Peninsula due to its beauty and peculiarity. It has very narrow steps and crevices that will test you. Wonderful and magical, the Green Throat.

- Río Verde: this descent gives us the opportunity to try all the variations of typical canyon obstacles. We will jump into the water, overcome unevenness and climb over the rocks with their subsequent descents, full of slides, infinitely beautiful pools of an emerald green color. Spectacular and fun, the Green River.

- La Sima del Diablo: originally it took its name from its dark sections and steps that leave you a limited space to continue advancing. This canyon is easy, fun, not very long, so it does not require great physical effort. Short and long enough to be satisfied with the activity carried out. Very fun slides and waterfalls. Perfect to start canyoning, the Sima del Diablo.

- Tajo de Ronda: an exclusive urban ravine where we will face a shocking rappel from a height of 30 meters. Very short but intense. With many pools to jump and very explosive. It can be combined with the Tajo de Ronda ferrata to culminate in this beautiful town.

With Horizon Nature and Adventure canoeing can be experienced in different ways, both as a single activity or as part of any of our fun gymkhanas. Some of the possibilities we have thought about:

- Adventure on Lake Zahara: a series of games that after an archery session and a test in which to build your raft, ends with a relaxing canoe ride.

- Routes inside the lake: available on weekends in the month of June, in which we will paddle with a beautiful perspective of the Sierra de Grazalema.

- Island Crossing: interpreted tour aimed at learning about the key aspects of the animals and plants that create the ecosystem of this area. We will also learn the importance of contributing to the conservation of the environment.

If you want a second option after the canoes, you can decide to get on our giant floats to follow the downward course of the river.

If you want to fly in a balloon but still do not dare to take a complete ride in the air, at Horizon Nature and Adventure we advise you to do it in the captive balloon mode.

These flights do not become such, they are simply fixed to the ground waiting for the participants and rise to certain meters above the ground. At no time will we let go of the rope so the movement of the balloon is simply vertical. However, it will allow you to experience the usual sensations of this activity and look out over the landscape that surrounds us, in the Sierra de Grazalema, as if you were attending a luxury balcony.

The captive balloon is especially attractive for the little ones. In addition to wanting to go up as soon as possible, they are surprised by the majesty of the device and its large size. The pilot and his collaborators will be with you to explain what main parts a balloon is made up of, why it rises and what procedures are used for takeoff and landing.

Battles, aim, strategy, teamwork, leadership skills... that is paintball with Horizon Nature and Adventure Paintball. The participants, dressed in overalls and a mask, face each other with weapons loaded with compressed air that shoot paintballs.

We will use the natural settings of our facilities in Grazalema, all equipped with protections and obstacles that will allow you to escape from the enemies' balls.

There are a large number of different dynamics that take place in an area specially equipped for this, ensuring a truly fun activity. Who will be able to “take the hill”?

Don't forget to bring a desire for fun and good humor, a change of clothes in case of rain and, if you want to be more comfortable, your own clothes to play with. It is also important to wear sports shoes. We take care of the rest from Horizon Nature and Adventure Paintball.

Contact us and tell us what you need. We will set up a paintball game tailored to your needs.

The Grazalema Natural Park is the perfect place for hiking. Now you can know why thanks to Horizon Nature and Adventure.

Given the breadth of this natural surface, the possible routes are almost unlimited. We advise you:

- El Pinsapar: with the option of dedicating half a day or a full day to it. We will enter the forest formed by these species that gives the environment an original and unique aspect in the region.

- The Green Gorge: very popular for canyoning, you can also contemplate its beauty while walking. In addition, it gives us access to the Mirador de los Buitres, which takes its name from the colony of this species that lives in the area, and to the Cueva de la Ermita.

- El Torreón: we will climb to more than 1,600 meters of altitude from which we will obtain views that, at their furthest point, reach the Strait of Gibraltar.

- Los Llanos de Rabel: this section is largely done along a forest track that eliminates any possible complexity in the route.

- La Sierra del Endrinal: after the Torreón, El Reloj and Simancón are the highest points in the area, which we can see through this route in which it will not be difficult for mountain goats to come out to us meeting.

- El Salto del Cabrero: it is characterized by the change in ecosystems that occurs during the route, going from a pine forest to a landscape in which limestone rock predominates.

- El Bosque Riverbed: we will follow the same path that its waters take and we will see the mills that man has built along his path in his years of history.

Plan your day on horseback with the company that has obtained recognition from Parque Natural de Andalucía for the guarantee of its services. At Horizon Nature and Adventure we know which are the best places in the Sierra de Grazalema to cross on these animals.

In this part of the province of Cádiz you will see that the beauty of the place does not only reside in its coastline. There are numerous forests and mountains that we will have the opportunity to see on horseback at any time since the weather is optimal for most of the year.

Horseback riding gives us time for a relaxed view of nature, with the benefits of using a means of transportation that, far from being aggressive, is in communion with the environment.

It is not necessary for any of the participants in the activity to have knowledge of horse riding. A few simple instructions will be enough to direct the animal and feel that we have control over it.

The immensity of the Sierra de Grazalema is almost endless, so we recommend that you get to know it comfortably with the 4x4 routes of Horizon Naturaleza y Aventura.

We will get into all-terrain vehicles designed to move smoothly through forest roads and natural tracks. We will travel in groups while one of our guides gets behind the wheel so that you can relax and dedicate yourself to not missing any details of the expedition.

Throughout the day we will have the opportunity to make several stops. We will dedicate these moments to rest, breathe the pure air that the forest offers us and pay attention to the monitor's explanations about the conditions of the landscape that surrounds us.

The 4x4 tour can be done almost at any time of the year. Also keep in mind that your vision of the environment will change radically with each season. We will find snow in winter, the luxuriance of the trees in spring and summer and general ocher tones come autumn.

In Horizon Nature and Adventure we will approach the most suitable places in the Cadiz mountain range for climbing. In this sport it is important to find the exact route before starting the climb, especially if you have no experience or are still trying out. That's why we help you:

- With instructors who will transfer to you the experience they have obtained through years as climbers. In addition to the theory, they know the vicissitudes that those who are used to this discipline usually encounter.

- Your instructor will determine what level of teaching you need. It doesn't matter if you haven't even heard of climbing, if you started but haven't practiced in a while or if you have a significant level of preparation. Whatever your case, you can continue learning with us.

- Each activity has a different duration that depends on your choice. We recommend that you dedicate at least 3 to 6 hours in a single day so that you have enough time to advance, always without overdoing it until you exhaust your strength.

The Sierra de Grazalema hides a complete underground world in which you can enter through caving with Horizon Nature and Adventure.

We take you to a total of 6 different cavities so that you can choose where to get your first impressions or make your own roadmap to overcome them one by one:

- The Excentric: we will find it in Igualeja and it places before us formations of all kinds in an accessible and small cave.

- Los Órganos: to get to it we will travel to Mollina, in the province of Málaga. It impresses thanks to its galleries several kilometers long.

- Cueva del Agua: it is located in the Málaga district of Archidona and has various heights with water in some of them.

- The Cat: this cavity surrounds the Guadiaro River, which will force us to access its bed from the windows that populate the cave.

- Hoyo-Conique System: an option without difficulties to follow in one hour. Thanks to its two accessible entrances, we will take a route in and out in which we will encounter some challenges.

- Hundidero-Gato: a cave of several kilometers with access starting in Montejaque and exiting in Benaoján. Its interior is made up of gigantic rooms between mud and lagoons.

At Horizon Nature and Adventure we head to the Greenway of the Sierra de Grazalema for our mountain bike tours. Simply knowing how to ride and having some endurance on the mountain bike will be enough to join us on:

- An excursion that we can complete in a time between 4 and 5 hours, depending on the pace the group reaches.

- A route that exceeds 30 kilometers and crosses such characteristic urban centers as Puerto Serrano, Coripe, Olvera or Algodonales. In them we will find the historical part of the adventure since we will observe constructions that date back to the beginning of the last century.

- A walk along a railway track now unused in which on both sides we will see ourselves surrounded by nature. The monitors will tell us what we are finding along our path.

We can adapt the route to the profile of the group and lower the speed if you go as a family with small children.

With Horizon Nature and Adventure you can try the zip line as part of our multi-adventure days.
We develop our programs in the Sierra de Grazalema and in the Cadiz Puente de la Nava. For those of you who have opted for the zip line, this is what you should know:

- We will use an installation with a cable that we anchor from one point to another , with a certain slope, until it is completely taut. The incline will be the one that allows the zip line to slide.

- Each participant will wear a helmet and a safety harness with which they will be hooked to the zip line. You will be suspended in the air so you do not need to make any effort to hold on. If you dare, you can even let go of your hands as you go down.

- As soon as you are ready with all the equipment, it will be time to let yourself be carried from the starting platform to the opposite end of the zip line.

Being a simple and safe activity, young children can also participate.

Rappel with Horizon Nature and Adventure in the ravines of the Sierra de Grazalema in Cadiz and learn how this discipline can help you overcome obstacles in different sports.

Rappelling will be easier than you think, our instructors will take care of it. It is essential that you pay attention to:

- The material used: ropes, carabiners, descenders... will be your life insurance when you decide to practice it. You should never begin a section of rappelling without being absolutely convinced that all the elements are well fixed and have been checked.

- Aware of the importance of the previous section, to rappel you will only have to descend in a controlled manner, using your legs as support on the wall. Little by little you will reach the ground or the determined surface. This is when you can unhook your harness from the rope.

In addition to being very useful in canyoning, this discipline will be useful for climbing or simply to occupy your leisure time by testing from different heights such as bridges.

At Horizon Nature and Adventure we do offer you proposals expressly addressed to your conferences and company events .

We are specialists in a large part of the adventure sports available in the market, both on land, in water and in the air, and we can adapt them for a different day in your corporation. However, we have created specific options to meet the objectives pursued in these cases:

- Multi-adventure competition : with gymkhanas and games designed to seek integration between partners and for participants to assume different roles within the game. This is the case of the construction of rafts that we will have to put to the test sailing in a lake.

- Combination of activities : if you come with a specific idea about the aspects you want to work on, we will plan the day exclusively for you.

- Complementary options for all audiences such as guided visits to the surrounding towns.
All of this can be added to outdoor food or arranged with restaurants.

Horizon Nature and Adventure organizes your bachelor party in a comprehensive way. Thanks to our experience we promote a festive atmosphere that invites you all to actively participate in the games that we will have prepared for you.

All the ideas that we advance to you can be combined exactly as you want:

- Games : tests in the form of gymkhanas such as raft building or archery in which no one has an excuse not to participate as they are not difficult or dangerous.

- Extreme sports : canyoning, caving or via ferratas to be completed in a group. You can also surprise the protagonist of the day with a bungee jump and follow him if you feel like it.

- Visits to the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and the charming urban centers that dot it.

For plans of more than one day we will find you food in a restaurant or with picnics while the night can be reserved in rural houses or hostels.
