Guadalajara is attractive without boasting about it. Its landscape variety and its natural wealth have allowed it to show a wide network of protected areas; although not everyone knows them or has heard about them.

 

Three Natural Parks (Alto Tajo, Sierra Norte and Barranco del río Dulce), several Reserves, Natural Monuments and Special Protection Areas, facilitate the possibilities of carrying out activities in nature in Guadalajara, be it ecotourism or multi-adventure.

 

Throughout the territory multiply the places where hiking or trekking. From short local trails to part of important long-distance trails are found in the province. The mountain bike can be used by La Alcarria or La Campiña. While one of the best places to do horse riding is the ravine Dulce River.

 

Lovers of high mountains, on the other hand, can head to the Sierra Norte de Guadalajara. In her they are the three highest peaks of Castilla-La Mancha: the Wolf, the Cerrón and the Cebollera. And a remarkable fauna that will delight ornithologists.

Water is also a good place to practice nature activities in Guadalajara. In the reservoirs of Buendía, Bolarque and Entrepeñas can be made kayak routes, or windsurfing and sailing. But if you want strong emotions, you can not miss the descent of the white waters of the Alto Tajo, either by kayak or rafting, between sickles and cut.

 

Spelunking or climbing are also suitable options for the most daring. The latter, incidentally, also practicable in this impressive environment that is the Alto Tajo Natural Park. And if you want to see everything from above, nothing better than a paragliding or hang gliding flight. Throughout the province there are optimal spaces for these activities; One of the most recognized is the peak of La Muela.

 

Quieter (but not boring) activities, such as wildlife photography or mycological outings to collect mushrooms during the season, complete the catalog of activities in nature in Guadalajara. A province that, by discrete, when it is known, surprises.
