Wildlife
History
The Bedar range was heavily mined from the late 19th century to mid‑20th century for iron ore; open‑cast pits like Hoyo Júpiter are remnants of that industrial era.
Conservation
Respect heritage features and stay on designated tracks; erosion and off‑road driving by unauthorized vehicles can damage fragile mine archaeology and local vegetation.
Reserve your spot on the Mojarcar Jeep Safari & Spanish Tapas Adventure in Bedar Mountains today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Closed, grippy footwear only
Sturdy shoes are mandatory—no sandals or open shoes—because tunnels and mine tracks are uneven and can be slippery.
Carry 1 L of water minimum
The sun can be strong and the tour includes exposed sections; hydrate before you board and refill in town afterward.
Mind the low tunnel heights
Some tunnel sections are 1.30–1.60 m high — crouch and move deliberately; bags should be secured to avoid hitting the ceiling.
Stay with the group at viewpoints
Hoyo Júpiter has steep edges and few barriers—keep children close and follow guide instructions for safe viewing.
Closed hiking shoes or sturdy sneakers
Provide traction and protection when walking through tunnels and over rough mine tracks.
1–1.5 L water bottle or hydration pack
Keeps you hydrated during exposed sections and the village stop.
