What it is
Satya. Natura, Art i Emoció is an environmental education and personal growth project in the Collsacabra, based in Rupit i Pruit, which guides walks around the area. Its approach starts from the idea that knowing the landscape helps you look after it and look after yourself. It is run by Raquel Sala. Among its activities:
- Guided walks through the Collsacabra, among woods and cliffs.
- Guided visit to El Corriol, a 13th-century farmhouse preserved intact, one of the notable houses of the Collsacabra.
- Mindful and contemplative walks.
- Sound baths, concerts and art and nature workshops, also made to measure.
- Educational activities for schools.
On its website it also announces guided outings in Cap de Creus and, in December, the Bosc de Tions, a corner of the Collsacabra woods with different tions installed among the trees.
What to expect from a walk
It is not a demanding mountain route, but a walk to get to know the area or to stroll calmly. It can be an outing along the cliffs, which dominate the landscape of Rupit, or a visit to El Corriol, which lets you see what a complete medieval farmhouse was like. Satya adapts the experiences to each occasion, so what you do depends on what you ask for.
The landscape
Rupit i Pruit is part of the protected natural area of the Collsacabra (PEIN), with cliffs, lush woods, streams and waterfalls. The landscape is dominated by sub-Mediterranean and central European vegetation: mountain holm oak in the lower areas, oak woods with box alternating with pasture, beech woods and, at the very top, heathland with birches. The cliffs favour rock-dwelling birds, and the mammals include foxes, roe deer, badgers and wild boar. The Town Council recommends going with a specialist guide to get more out of the visit.
Price, duration and booking
Satya does not publish a price, duration or calendar on its website: each outing is organised on request. Contact Raquel Sala on 628 09 16 85, through its website or on Instagram (satya.naturaartemocio). Say how many of you there are, whether you are bringing children and what interests you: the cliffs, El Corriol or a contemplative walk. The meeting point is agreed when you book.
Getting there
Rupit is on the C-153, about 45 minutes from Vic and from Olot. If the meeting is in the village, park in the municipal car park at the entrance: €6 for 4 to 24 hours.
What to bring
Comfortable shoes for walking on paths, water, a warm layer, as the Collsacabra gets cool, and sun protection in summer.
Who it is for
For adults and families who want to get to know the Collsacabra with someone from the area and at a gentle pace. If you want a long route on your own, look at the one from Rupit to Tavertet; for a short family outing, the Salt de Sallent.
