The landscape possesses many sensory qualities that we need to appreciate the land in all its richness and complexity, to improve our health, and to achieve physical and mental well-being. All experiences take place in natural spaces of great scenic, biological, and geological interest. We communicate the values of the environment through interpretation and connect with emotions through the activities we develop to create a deep connection with the place.
"Emotional Landscapes, Conscious Landscapes" consists of a program with three activities that can be carried out separately on different days or combined into a single day: 1. Forest bathing for health. 2. Seas for the mind. 3. Sunsets at sea.
Travel Guide
Both companies, NansaNatural and Bahía de Santander, are fully aware of the need to care for the environment and respect our surroundings. Therefore, we adopt measures that help reduce the impact of our activities by reducing energy, water, and other resource consumption. We organize routes and travel in small groups. We choose less crowded or less crowded locations. We reduce the consumption of bottles and other plastics.
Encouraging our customers to carpool while traveling, minimizing transportation consumption. Always engaging with local residents, businesses, and artisans, promoting sustainability and social commitment.
In addition, we contribute to projects for the conservation or restoration of the natural and cultural values of the Natura 2000 Network area ZEC LITORAL DUNAS DEL PUNTAL Y ESTUARIO DEL MIERA with the activity "Sunsets at sea" since participating in it directly contributes to conservation since 10% of the ticket goes to the Osprey Recovery Project in the Bay of Santander.
