Mission AdventureGranada

EKOMOTRIL wants to motivate your visit to our region, Motril & Gualchos Castell de Ferro, are located on the coast of Granada, south of Spain. We are granted with Sub-Tropical climate through the year. But most exciting, we are surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea and two mountain ranges, "Contraviesa" and south face of "Sierra Nevada" were the Alpujarras are located. We also find the Spanish highest pick Mulhacen" (3.500 mts).

From Castell de Ferro we suggest the opportunity to practice adventure sports all year round; Exiciting Mountain-Bike rides with breathtaking views; sea kayaking through our cristal clear rocky beaches; hiking and trailing; cross country snowshoe, crampons or skying; snorkle or scuba dive on the cliffy seasides; fishing or just relaxing on our clearwater coves enjoying fresh fish dinners.

If you are interested on adding some activity or short trails when visit the Alhambra and Albahicin in Granada. Or you may want to take advantage of the sea and snow opportunity that Granada offers and unfold the wonders hidden in the province... you might be interested consulting the blog hoping helps you know better our region.

Mount Wachanama is 100km south of Loja, by the village of Catacocha. The plane of one of the most respected former presidents of Ecuador crashed here in what is called a plot against him. There is also a tale of the Ecuadorian Robin Hood who rode by horse this mountains through his live, stilling the rich to help the poor habitants of the region.

In any case Wachanama is an impresive adventure that will take you to the sky to be able to see the pacific and Piura, a Peruvian norther city. You will see one of the riders without a helmet, NEVER DO THAT!! In this case the helmet was accidentally broken. But the pictures still look nice.
