The protected Bosque de la Cañada de Contreras is a leafy and humid forest just an hour away from the city center. You might also hear it called Los Dínamos Park, which is a section of the whole protected area. The views in this spot are simply stunning and it is a perfect place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The area covers 2,429 hectares filled with streams, rivers and waterfalls.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
