A walk among colourful leaves, dinosaurs and living plant sculptures in San Martín de Valdeiglesias.
San Martín de Valdeiglesias · Sierra Oeste
Allow 2 to 4 hours
One combined ticket for all three parks
Autumn is best enjoyed outdoors
Autumn is one of the best times to visit with children: mild temperatures for walking and the garden’s trees changing colour. At the El Bosque Encantado complex in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, one ticket covers three parks: Dinolandia’s dinosaurs, the living plant sculptures of El Bosque Encantado and the minerals of Mineralandia. It is around 50 minutes by car from Madrid.
What your family can discover
El Bosque Encantado
Over 300 living plant sculptures and more than 500 plant species. Dragons, fairytale characters, animals and mazes invite families to wander through the garden and spot new figures.

Mineralandia
Hundreds of minerals and semi-precious stones within the same complex. Stop to explore their shapes, colours and crystals, alongside the bonsai and cactus areas along the route.

Autumn mornings in the Sierra Oeste can be cool and middays mild. Wear layers and comfortable shoes, as paths may have leaves and mud after rain.
- 02
Check the weather and hours
This is an outdoor visit. Check the forecast and the day’s opening hours before leaving; it gets dark earlier in autumn.
