From Seville, head to Santponce and reach the Roman Amphitheatre in Italica. Visit the Dehesas de Sierra Morena Biosphere Reserve. Then, explore a stunning Mediterranean forest at Peña de Arias Montano. You'll also discover the Mosque of Almonaster la Real, the Rio Tinto mines as well as a forest full of chestnut trees. The tour also offers the possibility of visiting a farm of wild bulls for an additional fee.
Riotinto offers the opportunity to see an area that is completely different to the rest of the world, so much that NASA has set a base to study this mysterious land. Riotinto and its surroundings have been exploited for more than 2,000 years. In all these years many civilizations got the copper, silver and gold content on the ground and changed the landscape of this area so much that it looks like Mars. The main river runs among old mining fields, transporting the minerals of the soil. These metallic minerals turn the river into a reddish colour with acidic waters, where life is almost impossible.
After Riotinto mines, visit Aracena, the capital city of Natural Park Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche, a paradise for those who seek freedom and peace. Aracena offers amazing trails through its Dehesas full of cork trees and oaks, where the Iberian pigs live in freedom and peace. Once in Aracena you will explore the Grutas de las Maravillas, a natural cave almost 2,000 meters long, full of stalactites and stalagmites formed by the water running in the limestone.
