This adventure park is in Guadarrama and encompasses the Encinillas Reservoir. The reservoir is part of the experience, with a 380-m zipline over its surface available for those who dare approach it.

Here, you’ll find circuits aimed at all skill levels. Tree-to-tree circuits and zip lines keep you active and engaged as you push yourself to the limits and see how far you can get.

Amusement and Theme Parks

Whether you’re a daredevil seeking the ultimate thrill or prefer your amusement parks on the gentler side, you’ll find what you’re looking for in these Madrid amusement parks.

The park features four themed zones, each offering a completely different ambiance. Children adore Nickelodeon Land and its abundance of cartoon characters ready to greet them. In Tranquilidad, zombies crawl through The Walking Dead Experience.
