OUR PHILOSOPHY

Parknatur Turismo Rural y Activo S.L. offers you the possibility to get to know and to visit the authentic Andalusia, its landscapes, its villages, its habits, its handicrafts, its gastronomy, its people and local festivities, its agriculture, its lifestyle and a long list of etc., beside its monuments and rich artistic variety.

The routes follow partially dirt tracks and partially secondary roads and are realized in 4x4 vehicle and van – each one with guide/driver, which distinguishes us from the pure and more adventurous “four wheel drive” internet portals.

We take you on old, not very frequented and traditional roads between villages, on country roads and dirt tracks to corners and landscapes, which few visitors will have seen, by avoiding at the maximum the tourist masses. You will be in contact with the local population, its traditions, old trades and a daily way of life, which differs enormously from the stress and accelerated rhythm of our modern lives in the cities.

This in itself rewarding sensation is combined with visits to farms and farmhouses. We will experience as well the most varied workshops of handicrafts; will see family run and traditional cheese factories and organic orchards, will recover the ancient tradition of making soap, will participate in the harvest of the olives, oranges and chestnuts, will live the sensation of being surrounded by bees while we are protected by our special suits, we will prepare our own meals according to autochthonous recipes, will realize activities of Active Tourism in pure nature, will learn how to pickle table olives, etc., etc., etc.

At no time you will ever need a special physical condition or special knowledge.

However, we really ask our participating friends to be curious, interested in discovering and experimenting new sensations and especially in getting to know the real Andalusia. We promise you that you will return home with many unforgettable impressions.

DIFFERENT PROGRAMMES

Our programmes in general are suitable for any audience. At no time any special physical conditions or special skills are required. The programmes can also be adapted to fit any desired time period.

We programmed full day excursions for the visitors, which are already accommodated in hotels at the Costa del Sol and are looking for special options and alternatives apart from the normal programme of sun, sand and beaches.

We offer already coordinated round trips for weekends or bank holidays for those who would like to experience something different in a short period of time.

Our flagship program is the circuitry of a week with a wide range of contents that meet the expectations of even the most demanding.

The programmed weekend trips and round trips of one week you will find on our web page are realized on certain dates and can be reserved on-line. These itineraries will give you a good idea about the possible contents for any tailor made programme.

All these programmes can be tailor made according to the Andalusian region the client chooses (in case he has any preferences), his interests, the activities and visits he would like to do as well as the duration of the round trip.

In our section “Tailor made” you will find a wide selection of activities which we combine with routes through the marvellous rural landscapes of the interior of Andalusia.

We will be pleased to coordinate your particular travel.
