Mi Sierra de Gata

At Mi Sierra de Gata we draw on the richness and variety that we find in the natural landscapes of the Valle de las Pilas and Árrago to introduce you to the knowledge of the fauna and flora that make up this protected area.

We approach the places of greatest scenic value through:

- Hiking routes: without difficulty and so that you can share them with the whole family, discovering the vestiges of ancient civilizations of which there are still remains and the riverside forests that extend on both sides of the river.

- Ornithological walks: in addition to it being common for us to encounter vultures or eagles during our visit to the area in the northwest of Extremadura, we have specific outings to bird observatories where we will have the opportunity to contemplate them in their midst.

- 4x4 departures: for all tastes, with departures from 3 hours to a full day. These vehicles will take us to the summit of the mountain range, they will help us get closer to the birds once again and they will give us the opportunity to watch the sunset and see how night falls.

At Mi Sierra de Gata 4x4 we put our all-terrain vehicles at your disposal to get to know Sierra de Gata and Hurdes in depth.

Our goal is to always offer you a different alternative that will open the doors of a new itinerary every time you want to repeat. For this we have thought of the following routes:

- From the heights: we will meet in Cargamaría for a 3 and a half hour tour through which we will seek to exceed 1,500 meters of altitude, reaching the upper peak of the saw.

- Ornithological route: more than 3 hours of adventure towards the bird watching point that will bring us closer to two of the most characteristic and impressive species in the area, the griffon and the black vulture.

- Immersed in the mountains: a full day excursion with a stop at a prehistoric dolmen, the bird observatory, the Los Angeles stream and the well-known region of the Hurdes.

- Full moon: we meet before sunset waiting for the moon to rise, contemplating the change of colors in the environment. We will do it from the highest point of the mountain after which we will walk to “la Bolla”.

At Mi Sierra de Gata we know where the most interesting points of this area of Extremadura are located and we have decided to take you to discover them through hiking.

You can choose from the catalog of already established routes or request the customization of any of the itineraries:

- A little history in the heart of the mountains: a walk that can last up to 2 hours without difficulty, passing the remains left to us by the Roman civilization. We can still see what was once a town, a beautiful bridge covered in vegetation and, going forward in time, a Jewish hermitage.

- From the river to the pine forest: we will also find no complexity in a path that runs parallel to the river which takes us to its lush forests, offering us a changing landscape depending on the season of the year.

In addition, there are special options for specific groups and students of institutions and schools. We will give you a training proposal in the middle of nature, with a day in which we will learn for ourselves the functioning of the ecosystem of our natural parks and the importance of preserving them.
