About this experience

During our hike, we will follow a river bed under thick vegetation and encounter an abundance of native flora and fauna: strawberry trees, myrtle, heather, junipers, alder and holm oaks are also the setting for possible encounters with wild deer, mouflons (wild goats), wild boars, rabbits and martens.

At the top of the hills where the vegetation is more sparse, we'll walk over rock formations with bizarre shapes, spot golden eagles, peregrine falcons and the exemplary Sardinian goshawks, a bird of prey native to Sardinia.

At the end of our hike we'll relax and enjoy a small picnic and you will have the chance to visit the botanical gardens nestled within the park where you'll get to see some captive deer close up.
