This trail provides you with the chance to get to know not only the most striking places in the region, it also unveils the secrets not only of its native forests but also of the forests of the world. This is thanks to a visit to the Forest Interpretation Centre and Arboretum and to the park with tree species from all the continents accompanied by our guides. 

After the visit, we will head for the Sierra de la Vida, where we will be offered a sampling of top quality local products and a meal typical of the region in a unique setting in the winery’s former premises.

We will then follow a thematic itinerary along the coastline back towards the valley, and, with a little luck, we may sight the griffon vultures hovering over the Bay of Biscay, as well as other bird species like the  Egyptian vulture, the black kite, the peregrine falcon, in one of the most beautiful landscapes in Cantabria, making this trail a unique experience in every respect.
