Explore la Tierra

Story of Explore la Tierra in Vejer de la Frontera.

Explore la Tierra was founded in Vejer de la Frontera. It is a tour operator company which wants to let guests EXPLORE the Earth, the ground, the soil, the land… la Tierra has all these meanings in Spanish. The values that Explore la Tierra defends is sustainable tourism and sustainable food production. For instance, we use different sized vehicles that are group-specific. We use from 5-seater cars to vans, minibuses, or even buses. We only work with local businesses, and the food products we eat in our tours are all sourced from Andalusia.

My name is Carlos and I am the main guide. I studied an Msc in Environment and have worked in the environmental field for 5 years between Canada and UK.

The hiking tours are carried out in Los Alcornocales, El Estrecho and La Breña natural parks. Most of the hikes are private tours in small groups.

During my tours I will explain the landscape that we see to the group. Explain the geology and the flora, as well as the culinary, medicinal and traditional uses that the mediterranean plants had in the region.

Moreover, I am WSET level2 certified and do sherry and Andalusian wine tastings. Cádiz has always been involved with wine. It is the only place in the world where you will find the D.O.of Sherry. The "Sherry triangle" is found between Puerto de Santa María, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and of course, Jerez de la Frontera. In addition to wine, there is a vast selection of food to be found in Vejer de la Frontera and, throughout all of Cádiz.

If it is of your interest I can design bluefin tuna tours to visit the almadraba, white town and olive oil tour, leather and cheese tours, and more.
