Let’s go on an expedition! We’ll venture into a veritable stone jungle, home to all sorts of creatures. We’ll follow their tracks and observe a wealth of authentic remains to discover who lives in the Torcal de Antequera. We’ll become true little explorers.
How to become Little Explorers?
This guided tour option for schoolchildren combines a complete interpretive hiking route through the Torcal de Antequera, with a themed workshop in the classroom.
The students will take an interpretive hiking route, such as the Ammonite Trail (or a similar route), searching for tracks and footprints of native wildlife. Simultaneously, interpretive stops will be made, incorporating concepts about karst formations, biodiversity, history, etc., adapting the presentation to the students’ age.
Once in the classroom, students will be able to experiment with authentic remains found in the Torcal de Antequera Natural Area, such as antlers, bone fragments, fossils, etc. The guide will complement the visit with interesting and entertaining explanations about these remains found in the Torcal de Antequera.
There is much to learn about the animals that live in El Torcal de Antequera, so the group will need 4 hours for this visit. Although the visit schedule is adapted to the group, an example of a possible itinerary could be the following:
- 10:00 am: Reception and welcome of the group at the Torcal Alto Visitor Center. Free time for breakfast and use of restrooms.
- 10:30 a.m.: Start of the hiking route, with several stops accompanied by explanations from the guides about the natural and cultural characteristics of the area. Throughout the hike, basic wildlife tracking techniques will be taught. The route will vary depending on available time and weather conditions.
- 13:00 hours: Return to the Visitor Center, guided tour of the facilities and recognition of tracks in the classroom.
- 2:00 PM: End of visit and farewell.
*This visit schedule can be adapted to the group in terms of start and end times of activities, duration of the visit, etc.
