What is ecotourism?
Ecotourism is defined as “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education”.
Since we assume that climbers, mountaineers and outdoor fans like us always respect the nature and environment in which we are doing our beloved sports, and we all leave no trace, for us the focus on our ecotourism offers is mainly about the aspects of learning and supporting local businesses.
To do so, we teamed up with our partners from Sierra & Sol, who offer many ecotouristic activities around Granada, where you can learn a lot about Granadas nature, history and visit local businesses.
What do we offer?
Our partners from Sierra & Sol can arrange multi-day adventures or full holidays, but since we are more thinking on nice activities for you on rest days, we picked a few half-day or one-day trips, that we recommend you to do, on a day off from sports. The things we picked, are “off the beaten path” – it will be things you get to see, that not every tourist is seeing!
You can find a few of those offers below, but if you want to do other things, like a pottery course, horseriding or whatever you maybe read somewhere and you are interested in, feel free to write us an email, call us, or just talk to us when you are here 🙂
