Discover Shinrin Yoku in Madrid!

Dreampeaks organizes Shinrin yoku experiences and hiking tours in the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park of Madrid. Transport Included.

Shinrin-yoku is a japanese term that means “forest bathing.” The evidence and scientific studies prove that a walk in the woods has great physical and mental benefits for your health. We lead forest bathing experiences in Guadarrama national park. It combines leisurely walks on gentle paths under forest canopy with guided activities to help you open your senses, hone your intuition, and experience the forest as you never have before.

We go for a mindful walk, very slow in pace, breathing, like a walking meditation. The whole idea is to become superaware of the senses, reconnect with nature and rewild ourselves.

The scientifically-proven benefits of Shinrin-yoku include:

Boosted immune system functioning, with an increase in the count of the body’s Natural Killer (NK) cells.

Reduced blood pressure.

Reduced stress.

Improved mood.

Increased ability to focus, even in children with ADHD.

Accelerated recovery from surgery or illness.

Increased energy level.

Improved sleep.
