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.

We are so glad that we chose Adventure Life. The service is top-notch. Everything is well taken care of and we just have to print the documents and go. Franny even gave us timely updates on possible airport strike.

Amazing assistance! Kevin and his team were so helpful and really gave us great advice. They quickly understood exactly what we were looking for and within a matter of days we had booked our holiday of a lifetime. I would definitely recommend to others.

I was on a trip to the UK while arranging another trip for next year. Was able to work with email and a short call to secure our spot on a tall ship cruise. Good company to work with so far.

I think it was very helpful that Franny and I spoke on the phone. I think she had a better idea of what we were looking for, and she planned a great itinerary for us!

I've just started the process, but Tilly has been very helpful and has a great personality that puts a traveler at ease. I think the paperwork has just begun so I can't give an overall rating of the whole experience. So far, so good.
