2Montana de Montserrat
The Rocky Massif of Montserrat was declared a Natural Park in 1987 and is known for the rounded shape of its peaks. This incredible 4,000-foot wonder is easily recognisable by its “serrated” top, from which it got its name. Once you reach the monastery, you have plenty of options, and your guide will always adjust to your interests. We invite you to take an easy walk of around 30 minutes to enjoy one of the most astonishing views of the natural park, but if you wish, you can also choose other activities the mountain offers.
