Description

Alejado del ruido de la ciudad, de las prisas de lo cotidiano, encontramos el pueblo de Rupit. Su proximidad a la Sierra de Cabrera, hace que sea un lugar único al que acudir para emprender una relajada ruta de senderismo. ¡Te invitamos a hacerla! A través de un itinerario circular de unas 5 horas de duración, visitaremos Rupit y sus alrededores. Caminarás por unos senderos tranquilos donde la presencia de personas es escasa. Se trata de una ruta enriquecedora, pues además de disfrutar de la naturaleza también visitaremos construcciones antiguas como el oratorio de Santa llúcia y subiremos a la roca del Castell de l'Envastida. También pasaremos por los espectaculares muros de los Cingles de Castellet, siempre vigilados por los buitres, y no volveremos sin visitar el Salt de Sallent. Por su facilidad a la hora de recorrerla, y por los grandes paisajes que disfrutarás al caminar por estas tierras catalanas, es ideal para venir acompañado. Podrás hacerlo con hasta 12 amigos. Y si tienes familia, también. ¡Los niños se lo pasarán en grande! Al final de la actividad te entregaremos las fotos que habremos hecho de la ruta.
