Zipline in A Pontenova
The star attraction of the season, the zipline opened its doors this February and operates at weekends and on public holidays, including Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. It is the longest zip line in Galicia, at 330 metres, and there is also a 60-metre version for children weighing under 50 kilos. What’s more, the recreational complex where it is located features other activities such as walking the ruta dos Fornos forest trail or venturing into a real mine.
Humor Amarillo in Vigo
The little ones might not remember it, but Humor Amarillo was a hilarious source of amusement, bumps and falls a few years ago on television. On Mount Alba in Vigo there is a park where visitors can put themselves in the contestants’ shoes and undergo some of the most famous trials from the TV show. Dress up in a sumo suit, cross a suspension bridge while balls are thrown at you or play football inside a giant bubble. There are two circuits available, and one of them is recommended for children.
Paintball in Mazaricos
War is hardly a game. So paintball is an ideal choice for those who want to go full Rambo or run around like their favourite video game characters. After two years of dodging an invisible enemy, trying to avoid paintballs fired by your friends sounds pretty good, right? There are numerous options, but Naturmaz in Mazaricos also offers a children’s version for the whole family to enjoy, with balls adapted to all ages... And all set in a field of menhirs!
Manzaneda Junior Bike Park
Manzaneda mountain resort is not just a place for skiing and tobogganing. For those days without snow, there is a wide range of adventure activities, sports and nature trails on offer. One of the new arrivals this winter is the Junior Bike Park, where the youngest members of the family can try their hands at mountain biking in a magnificent setting. Open every Saturday and Sunday, both mornings and afternoons. The park has also launched a special offer that includes entry to the multi-adventure park. Don’t miss out!
Multi-adventure park in Marín
The name says its all. It is the ideal place for adventurers of all ages. Although there are several adventure parks to be found in Galicia, the Marín Municipal Ecopark has the advantage of being located on the shores of the Rías Baixas, one of the top holiday destinations in the region. It has four tree circuits of varying degrees of difficulty and height levels and another two routes for beginners so there’s something for everyone. Obstacle courses, zip lines, bridges, nets, lianas... everything you need to become Tarzan or a pirate about to board a ship.
Orienteering games on Monte Aloia
What comes to mind when you think of adventures? If a map and a compass spring to mind, this is the ideal activity for you. Orienteering games allow you to feel like an explorer in search of treasure, trying to reach the marked places while solving puzzles along the way. Although there are several options in Galicia, Monte Aloia, in Tui, has the added attraction of being located right in the heart of a natural park. Learning to navigate trails and forests has never been so much fun.
