Tourism in Madrid
In the heart of the mountains of Madrid, in the Fuenfría Valley, located in the Recreational Area of Las Berceas, in the Dehesas de Cercedilla, you will find one of the largest adventure parks in Europe and the largest in Spain.
There you will find 114 games in the trees and 33 zip lines, divided into 7 adventure circuits: Kids, Explorer, Jungle, Adventure, Canopy, Sport and X-Trem; 5 Initiation circuits and the spectacular Monkey Jump, a 12-metre high jump into the void. There is also an area just for companies with Team Building dynamics (Amazonia Team Factory), unique in Spain. A day of adventure in which you can do the circuits as many times as you want, in a maximum of three hours. Children from 6 years old.
This is the second largest adventure park in Madrid and one of the 5 largest in Spain. It is located in Pelayos de la Presa (Sierra Oeste), next to the San Juan reservoir.
There you will find 99 games in the trees and 25 zip lines, for adults and children, divided into 6 adventure circuits: MiniKids, Kids, Explorer, Jungle, Adventure and Sport. There are also 3 initiation circuits, as well as a 255m SUPER-TYROLEOLINE, the longest in Spain between trees.
A great novelty is the MiniKids circuit for children from 4 to 6 years old. It is an enclosed area with games in the trees and zip lines for the little ones, and works as a nursery, so that adults can enjoy the adventure while the little ones enjoy the adventure at their own pace.
Don't wait any longer and start enjoying!
Atlantis Aquarium Madrid is an aquarium with more than 2,300,000 litres of water and 10,000 marine animals from all over the planet, distributed in 20 ecosystems or real tanks.

Are you going to miss it?
Faunia is a zoo with more than 1,200 animals of 152 different species. You can find them along a 14-hectare route surrounded by vegetation and distributed in open spaces and pavilions that represent different ecosystems.
The concept of proximity and recreation of habitats create ideal conditions for the animals and make this Madrid park a different concept, ideal for young people, families and children from 3 to 13 years old.
Just 5 minutes from the centre of Madrid, visitors to Faunia have the opportunity to interact with unique species in Spain through activities led by their keepers with West Indian manatees or learn about animals such as sea bears or even get to know reptiles up close through the crocodile feeding activity.
Experiencing an Amazon rain, without even getting wet, in the jungle of Faunia or stopping to observe the lemurs in the African Forest are some of the nearby experiences in this park located in the Madrid neighbourhood of Valdebernardo, at exit 6 of the A3.
