Nature tourism in the province of Palencia is concentrated, above all, north of it. The Natural Park of Fuentes Carrionas and Fuente Cobre - Montaña Palentina is the preferred destination for those who visit this province to disconnect from routine and open up to new experiences.

 

These almost unknown mountains rise above 2500 meters in height and give rise to two rivers, the Pisuerga and the Carrión, which make up an intricate and abrupt relief in which it is possible to practice endless activities in nature in Palencia. So remote is this place that it is even possible to find in it the traces of several specimens of brown bear.

 

Among the activities to be carried out in the Natural Park, two hiking trails stand out for the possibility of carrying them out with the little ones. They are about the Path of the Bear and the Path of the Fossil Forest; from which it is possible to receive information in the Casa del Parque, before entering the Park.

You can also practice caving. The Cave of the French or the karstic complex of Covalagua are two excellent places to explore underground. Or about it; because in this beautiful environment the Ivia River is born, whose course originates small waterfalls and fountains, giving rise to a unique place for hiking.

 

You can also enjoy this activity at the Las Tuerces Natural Monument, made up of strange rock formations with incredible shapes. This space has similarities with the Enchanted City of Cuenca or the Torcal de Antequera, and is one of the most charming places in Castilla y León.

 

Far from the mountain, there is also place to practice activities in nature in Palencia. For example, you can do ecotourism activities, such as bird watching in the La Nava lagoon or Boada lagoon. In these two wetlands, many species of waterfowl come to spend the winter.

 

The offer of active tourism in Palencia is completed with climbing activities, bicycle routes and wildlife observation, among others. A province full of possibilities.
