This area, located near the Parc Natural del Montseny, offers a peaceful Mediterranean atmosphere where the air carries the scent of earth and forest. The activity is available year-round and is carefully designed to let young children safely enjoy nature and connect with animals.

The Experience Children begin by meeting the ponies and learning how to interact with them under the guidance of certified instructors. Equipped with helmets, they ride on gentle trails, where they can gently touch and feed the ponies.
