Horse Riding in the Territory of the Wolf and Wild Horses

If you are looking for a different ride, in one of the most beautiful natural landscapes, the Geres, and the territory of a large predator, the mythical wolf, SunwebTravel is thinking of you!


In support of acceptance of the Wolf by local people and continuing our work of spreading this species, we invite all interested in nature conservation to enjoy in our company, the habitat of the great Iberian Wolf. We will make trips on horseback and walking, one or more days in which we will cover the territory of the Wolf and observe the signs of their passage.

Let´s cross dense oak woods, go through groves of birch, natural shelter for roe deer and wild boar, through patches of chestnut and holly trees inhabited by squirrels, jays and orioles and rest along the cliffs which can be seen eagles and some rare species of crows.
Visit Fojos (ancient stone traps to catch the wolf, man-made in unusual places) and talk about the history and legends surrounding this species. And who knows, we may be treated to the sound of the most spectacular nature - the howl of the Wolf.
