Cabárceno Nature Park is a unique space in Cantabria, not a conventional zoo, built on a former iron mine. Within its 750 hectares, the animals live in semi-freedom in large natural enclosures. You can explore the park in your own car, on foot, or by cable car to see more than 120 species of animals, including elephants, bears, and gorillas, in an environment very similar to their natural habitat.

The Pozos de Noja, known for its two artificial lagoons, the result of the industrial legacy of the old electricity company in the area, are proud to present their latest tourist innovation: a swing and a giant bench, unique spots for contemplating the landscape but also promising to be the setting for countless memories and photographs that will capture the essence of Cantabria. Access via SENDA DE TUERRA, with a bicycle path to the wells.

Greenway which goes along the old railway route, so there are no large slopes. A great option for all audiences.

The Lindaro Peak viewpoint is one of the most visited viewpoints and with impressive views of the Cayón Valley. It is located passing the Hayal de Esles on the way to the Pozos de Noja and apart from some impressive views it has some benches with a table to sit and rest and be able to eat enjoying the views, of course a small wooden railing with some signs that explain what is can see on a clear day.

The sobao museum (a typical Cantabrian pastry product) is simple, free to enter, and you can see the production plant. It has a room with a video of about 3 minutes and a cafeteria for snacks or breakfast. A popular place with cyclists.

From 690 meters above sea level, this viewpoint on Pico Lindaro offers beautiful 360-degree panoramic views of the entire Cantabrian interior. You find a table with a bench, an ideal place for a break and enjoy this beautiful landscape.
