The nature in Albacete is distributed between the wide plains of the center and the steepest terrain in the limits of the province. It is in these areas of ravines and mountains where most of the offer of activities of ecotourism and active tourism is located, although all.

 

One of the activities in nature in Albacete that has more followers is the sighting of birds or birding; and this can be done perfectly in the plains of Albacete or in the Hoz del Júcar, where it is possible to see golden eagles and griffon vultures, among other species.

 

You can also enjoy birdwatching in the Sierra del Relumbrar, in the Sierra de las Cabras or in the Natural Park of the Calares del Río Mundo and La Sima (where you can see riparian birds, vultures and, hopefully, the lammergeyer) . If you are looking for waterfowl, head to the lagoons of Pétrola and Ontalafia or the Natural Park of Las Lagunas de Ruidera.

A second experience very demanded among the activities in nature in Albacete is hiking. It can be done in almost any part of the province, because there are many routes in this regard. Some of the places preferred by walkers are the Sierra de las Cabras (where the highest mountains of the province are located), the Sierra de Alcaraz or the surroundings of the Río Mundo.

 

In this last place, caving can also be practiced. Apart from the well-known Cueva de los Chorros it is possible to visit the caves of La Pedorrilla and El Farallón. Nearby, in the Fuensanta reservoir, all kinds of sports are practiced. Both aquatic, such as kayaking or sailing, and others with more adrenaline. Bungee jumping and climbing, for example. Although if you want to mix the two things, water and adventure, the best thing is that you enjoy a day of rafting on the Segura River.

 

Other active active tourism activities that can be done in Albacete are canyoning, mountain bike routes or horseback riding. These last ones are realized, mainly, in Ossa de Montiel, where you will find routes for all the levels between wonderful landscapes.

 

In short, Albacete proves to be one of those provinces that seems little but, when it is known, surprises.
