Half a day in a guided off-road vehicle along tracks closed to private cars, to see deer, ibex and vultures through binoculars. From €39.

What It Is
A good part of the natural park is reserve zone: its forest tracks are closed to private cars. TurisNat, in Cazorla, has authorisation from the Junta to drive them with a guide. You travel in a shared off-road vehicle with 7 or 8 seats, or in 16- or 27-seat vehicles, with stops to walk a little and watch the wildlife through the binoculars and the spotting scope they carry on board. Deer, Spanish ibex and griffon vultures are the usual sights.
Which Route to Choose
There are about fifteen. The half-day ones cost €39 per person in 2026, and €20 for children aged 4 to 12. Route 5 goes up the Borosa valley, from the Charco de la Cuna, towards the Cerrada de Elías: useful if you do not want to walk the 7 km each way. Route 1, at €42, reaches the Valdeazores and Aguas Negras lagoons, the settings of El hombre y la tierra. Route 4 goes to the source of the Guadalquivir. If you want the whole day, route 12 climbs to the Campos de Hernán Perea for €60. In autumn there is a special outing for the deer rut, with no guarantee of seeing or hearing it.
How to Book
Always by reservation: by phone (953 72 13 51), WhatsApp, email or at their office in Cazorla. When you confirm they give you the pick-up point and time, which can be the door of your accommodation. The routes are not cancelled for rain or snow. There are no bars along the tracks: you can bring something to eat for the stops.
