GECKO Turismo Activo

GECKO Turismo Activo runs guided quad (ATV) routes across the Gredos and Sierra de Béjar landscapes from the Valle del Jerte/Piornal area. Routes are offered year‑round with 1‑ and 2‑hour options and group departures.

The operator is a local active‑tourism company that also provides rafting, canyoning and training courses. Meeting points can vary by route; booking and basic driving requirements are listed on their site.

A short guided introduction to the quad, safety briefing and helmet fitting, then off‑road route through mountain tracks and scenic viewpoints.

Look out for:

• Mostly dirt tracks with occasional rocky sections; difficulty rated medium.

• Typical durations: 1 hour or 2 hours options available.

• Minimum age and licence: drivers must be at least 18 and hold a category B driving licence.

• Routes run year‑round but conditions vary with weather.

Book the 2‑hour route if you want longer trail time and photo stops; arrive with sensible clothing, closed shoes and your driving licence. Confirm the exact meeting point with the operator when you book.

• Drivers must be 18+ and carry a valid category B driving licence.

• Choose 1h or 2h durations when booking; group departures vary by season.
