The Mountain
Montserrat is a massive rock over 4000 feet high, visible for miles, with weird shapes and rounded peaks that jut into the sky; there are paths, stairs, caves, chapels and hermitages scattered over the mountain, extraordinary landscapes and wonderful views. No wonder the whole mountain is also a Natural Park
The Monastery & Black Madonna
The 1000 year old Benedictine monastery is perched half way up the mountain and sheltered by its peaks. There is a basilica with the Chapel of Our Lady of Montserrat known as La Moreneta, the patron saint of Catalonia, and a presence strongly felt and revered. The community of monks also runs a boys’ school devoted to the study of music.
The Sanctuary of Montserrat
Surrounding the Monastery there are plenty of things to do, here are some top suggestions:
Best place for pictures, with some outstanding views of both Montserrat and the surrounding plains
Market stalls selling local goods like honey and Mató (fresh cheese)
The Museum of Montserrat has an extensive collection with paintings by Dalí, Picasso, El Greco and even treasures from ancient Egypt!
Restaurants and shops for anyone looking for souvenirs

DETALLES DEL TOUR
El tour Diamondback Gulch da vida a la zona alta de Arizona con una aventura todo terreno por senderos escarpados y rojos.
Al comenzar, su guía personal señalará algunas de las formaciones de roca roja más emblemáticas de Sedona. También pasará por el pintoresco Boynton Canyon, escenario de la película de John Wayne de 1947, "Angel and the Badman" y el sitio de antiguas ruinas ocultas. La montaña Mingus y las Black Hills aparecen en la distancia, vigilando el pacífico Valle Verde.
Llegados Bosque Nacional Coconino, el tour se dirigirá por el remoto sendero Greasy Spoon. Una sección de la ruta original del vagón entre Sedona y Prescott, esta senda de un siglo de antigüedad se remonta a una era antes de que Arizona fuera un estado. Capture destellos de un colorido pasado cuando los acantilados, cañones y bosques eran salvajes, un territorio inexplorado y 50,000 vacas de Texas que deambulaban por la tierra.
Continúe por Sidewinder Trail, donde el terreno rocoso cae en Diamondback Gulch, un profundo barranco que recorre la tierra. Agárrese mientras su guía navega hábilmente por el empinado descenso hacia el abismo antes de volver a salir. El ardiente sendero de roca roja contrasta con el verde fresco del paisaje nativo y el brillante cielo azul.
Por último, un viaje fácil desde el bosque de regreso a Sedona le dará suficiente tiempo para recuperar el aliento, mantener los pies firmes y planear su próxima aventura todo terreno con Pink® Jeep® Tours.
The price can vary according to visit date and time selected.
