Begin your journey at Sacromonte. Meet your local guide for a hike between Pueblo Eden and Viña Eden.
The adventure kicks off with a drive to Pueblo Eden, allowing you to explore the chapel and the town's main square. Start on your hike along a trail frequented by locals on their way to various ranches in the area. You'll encounter countryside gates known as "porteras," native trees, pastures filled with cows and sheep, and a gentle stream. The landscape unfolds with picturesque slopes and rolling hills. After approximately 8 kilometers, the hike concludes, and you'll head to Viña Eden winery for a satisfying lunch with a view of the vineyards (lunch cost not included).
Upon returning to Sacromonte, you can savor a welcome wine tasting atop the hill, overlooking the hills of the "Sierras de Caracoles." This experience includes a tasting of three wines, champagne, and dinner.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.

My experience with Sandra at Adventure Life was wonderful. She was very thorough, not only emailed me cruise information to review, she followed up with phone calls to answer any questions. We also received a couple of discounts which helped with our decision. I would recommend Adventure Life to my family and friends.
