The interpretive narrative, duration, route length, and difficulty are adapted to each group according to their needs (age, available time, interests, etc.). <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is this visit about?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The primary objective of this visit is for students to learn while having fun and to take away a positive memory of El Torcal de Antequera. Therefore,<strong> all visits are highly<\/strong> <strong>educational and engaging<\/strong>, designed to maintain the students&#8217; attention throughout. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The guided tour consists of an <strong>interpretive hike<\/strong> through the Torcal de Antequera, with explanations adapted to the students&#8217; age. Following the hike, there is a visit to the <strong>museum and classroom at the Torcal Alto Visitor Center<\/strong>, which houses a large collection of fossils and other educational resources. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At El Torcal for school groups, <strong>everything is adapted to the group<\/strong>: schedule, difficulty level, and interpretive themes. Even so, we start with a standard guided tour, which will be modified according to the needs of the students. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The duration of the visit varies, although this option will not exceed 4 hours with breaks. An <strong>approximate schedule<\/strong> could be as follows: <\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>10:00 a.m.: Group reception at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.es\/maps\/place\/Centro+de+Visitantes+del+Torcal+de+Antequera\/@36.9525408,-4.5451472,15z\/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xaeb4189a15d7dafc!8m2!3d36.9525408!4d-4.5451472\">Torcal Alto Visitor Centre<\/a>. Free time for breakfast and group coordination. <\/li>\n<li>10:30 a.m.: Start of the hiking route through the Torcal de Antequera. The preferred route will be the Ammonite Route or another of similar characteristics. If the group has less time or ability for this route and\/or the weather is unfavorable, the route will be adapted in terms of time and difficulty to the group&#8217;s needs.  <\/li>\n<li>13:15h: Return to the Torcal Alto Visitor Center. If the group has time, they will visit the interactive museum and the archaeological remains classroom. <\/li>\n<li>2:00 PM: End of the visit. Farewell and evaluation of the activity. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>*This visit schedule can be adapted to the group in terms of start and end times of activities, duration of the visit, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What will the students learn?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Infant and 1st Cycle of Primary (Spanish education)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Through simple and engaging explanations, students will learn about the living things of El Torcal (animals and plants) and the fossils that have left their mark on the rock. The geological formation of this mountain range is also explained in a very simple way, and students will be able to touch real fossils found in this natural area. <\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">From the second cycle of Primary Education to the first cycle of Secondary Education (Spanish education)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For this age group, the interpretive discourse focuses on topics related to biodiversity (flora and fauna, adaptive strategies to the environment, traces and footprints). Other topics related to the geological formation of El Torcal (karst landscape and erosion patterns, water cycle, etc.) and the uses and exploitation of El Torcal by humans throughout history are also covered. <\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Secondary and Baccalaureate Cycle (Spanish education)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For higher-level students, the bulk of the discussion focuses on karst topography (plate tectonics, erosion, karst formations). However, it also touches on biodiversity (native flora and fauna) and the various uses and exploitation of the Torcal by humans from the Neolithic period to the present day. <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Target audience and ratios<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This guided tour is suitable for<strong> all school groups<\/strong>, from preschool to high school. The minimum group size for the tour is 20 students. For smaller groups, please request information at reservas@torcaldeantequera.com  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regarding the ratio, it will depend on current health regulations, but under normal conditions we work with a ratio of <strong>1 guide \/ 25 students + 1 teacher.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Full-time option<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The morning visit to the Torcal de Antequera Natural Area can be extended into a full day with &#8220;micro-workshops&#8221; on Environmental Education in the afternoon, or a guided tour of the Menga and Viera Dolmens.<\/p>\n<p>These &#8220;micro-workshops&#8221; will take place from approximately 3pm to 5pm (the morning visit to Torcal would take place from approximately 10am to 2pm), and depending on the number of students and their age, they will rotate between the following &#8220;micro-workshops&#8221;: traces and footprints, survival, prehistory, slingshot shooting, etc. <\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to request more information: <a href=\"mailto:reservas@torcaldeantequera.com\">reservas@torcaldeantequera.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rates<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Las tarifas de esta modalidad de visita guiada para escolares (menores de 18 a\u00f1os), depender\u00e1 de si participan a trav\u00e9s del Programa &#8220;La Naturaleza y t\u00fa&#8221; o del &#8220;Programa Propio&#8221; del Centro de Visitantes Torcal Alto.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EXCLUSIVE EDUCATIONAL CENTERS IN ANDALUSIA (SPAIN) &#8211; Programa &#8220;La Naturaleza y t\u00fa&#8221; de Aldea (parcialmente financiado por la Administraci\u00f3n P\u00fablica) <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Este programa est\u00e1 dirigido exclusivamente a centros educativos andaluces, con alumnos de infantil a bachillerato y grupos de 20 a 60 alumnos, y en idioma espa\u00f1ol, en una visita guiada de media jornada.
