Aventura extrema en Estremadura: Adrenalina pura
Vive la aventura en Estremadura con actividades que desafiarán tus límites.
Extremadura is a land of broad horizons, deep history and wild nature. It is the cradle of the conquerors who forged empires and whose mark can be seen in the palaces of Cáceres and Trujillo. It is the indelible legacy of Rome, which shines with a unique splendor in Mérida, its ancient capital. Its landscape is the pasture, an idyllic ecosystem of holm oaks and cork oaks where the Iberian pig is raised, producing the best ham in the world. But Extremadura is also the intense green of La Vera, the waterfalls of the Jerte Valley in spring and the majestic flight of the vultures in the Monfragüe National Park. Visiting Extremadura is taking a trip to an authentic Spain without artifice, where history weighs and nature imposes its law, all paired with honest and powerful gastronomy.

Adventures & Experiences
** Paradise for bird watching. Come to the **Salto del Gitano** viewpoint to see the colonies of griffon vultures up close, and look for the nest of the imperial eagle or the black stork. A sanctuary of Mediterranean nature.
**Monfragüe National Park
** A spectacle at any time, but especially magical during **'Cherry Blossom'** (end of March/beginning of April), when more than a million cherry trees turn the valley white. In summer, bathe in the natural pools of the **Garganta de los Infiernos**.
**Jerte Valley
** Explore this intensely green region, full of gorges, natural pools and towns with unique architecture. Visit the Yuste Monastery, the place chosen by Emperor Charles V to retire and die.
**La Vera and the Yuste Monastery
** More than a landscape, it is an ecosystem. Explore its expanses of holm oaks and cork oaks, an example of sustainability where livestock (Iberian pig, cows, sheep) and wildlife coexist.

The heat in summer is a very important factor! Temperatures can easily exceed 40-45°C. It is essential to bring water, sun protection and avoid any physical effort at midday. Extremadura is very extensive and has a low population density, the car is the essential means of transport to explore it. Secondary roads are good but often without shoulders.
