This adventure combines “ Hiking ” with “ Sky Gazing ”. We enter at the heart of the Los Alcornocales Natural Park in the town of Alcalá de los Gazules .
The first HIKING adventure is considered level 1 , it is short in duration , it has some slopes that will have to be taken easy . Our intention is to reach the summit with the sunset . Through the precious astronomy workshop , our guide will show us the main constellations , form of orientation and mythological stories .
All necessary technical equipment will be available for all activities .
THE HIKE Our hiking route , with almost 350m of unevenness , begins in the Picacho recreational area ;
From there , we follow the path that leads us to cross the river , and after a small incline , we reach the great viewpoint of Picacho , located at 650m . From this point , you can see the towns of Alcalá , Benalup , Medina , Paterna and much more .
After a second incline , we reach Puerto Oscuro , which sees the entire Sierra de Grazalema , Sierra del Pinar , Salto del Cabrero and the towns of Benaocaz and Benamahoma to the north . We still have the most exciting part , a climb up a sloping layer of 30 degrees , which takes us to the summit with the beautiful sunset in the background .
After eating something , to regain strength , we prepare for the descent . Provided with fronts , where the first part is carried out in the north , which is much safer .
