Follow dirt tracks dating back to the Moorish era into the high alpine zones. The journey takes you from the Granada valley up to 2,500 meters.
Guided safaris use specially equipped 4x4 vehicles to navigate steep, unpaved tracks that private cars cannot access. Groups are capped at 8 passengers per vehicle to safely maneuver the terrain.
As you climb, the landscape shifts rapidly. You pass through distinct ecological zones, each with unique plant species and opportunities to spot wildlife like the Iberian ibex.
