Experience Details

Deep Connection with Nature

Forest Bathing is a Japanese practice of conscious immersion in the natural environment, which promotes an intuitive and respectful connection with the forest. The activity begins with a brief introduction from an expert guide and breathing exercises, which allow you to absorb phytoncides – natural oils that trees emit to protect themselves –, known for their therapeutic effects on the body and mind.

Includes:

  • Activation of the Senses: During the tour, without rushing or schedules, you will experience a full connection with nature. This silent walk without electronic devices seeks for participants to live the “here and now” in harmony with the forest.
  • Infusion and Tasting of Wild Products: The activity concludes at the starting point, where an infusion of herbs and a tasting of jams or wild fruits await you, enhancing the link with the flavors of the environment.
