Since 2003, the Malcamino's company is offering 4x4 interpretation routes and hiking to discover the Tabernas Desert, with an excellent evaluation by visitors. Our objective has been and continues to be, to bring the visitor closer to the geological, natural and cinematographic landscape of the Only Natural Desert in Europe. Almost 20 years working to offer new forms of sustainable tourism in Almería and contributing to the development of our community, Tabernas.
With the first wave of the pandemic, as we all know, tourism suffered a forced slowdown, as we never see before, and, faced with this situation, we had two options: wait passively or manage our resources and invest in developing a new service. We opted for the second option and launched into the creation of a new experience in the Tabernas Desert: RANCHO MALCAMINO'S, where you can come to enjoy horseback riding and activities related to this beautiful animal.
To do this, we have begun the arrangement of Rancho Malcamino's: more than two hectares with direct access to the Desert, with ample spaces for stables and work areas.
Since November we have expanded the Malcamino's family with six new four-legged members: Estrella, Agustina, Hera, Pacífico, Viriato and Guajira. Théo, our monitor is already training to start the 2021 season, which we hope will take off shortly, as soon as we get out of this terrible situation, sooner rather than later.
Why a corwdfounding?: the idea of ??opting for crowdgunding is to ask you: user, horse lover, future visitor to Almería or Almería neighbor, friend, relative or acquaintance, to help us with your contribution ... Like any project, once started, unforeseen events arise and issues to be addressed to improve the original idea.
Investment risk: None. We will keep our commitment to reward you and your contribution. As of today, we comply with what is necessary for the development of the main activity, which is horse riding. In fact, today March 30 is the day of the first route and we have also chosen this day to launch this CROWDFUNDING proposal.
These are our specific proposals:
1) Pay now for a service that you can enjoy later, in exchange we offer you discounts on our routes. You will help us since with that pre- payment of your activity we will be able to finalize our purpose and improve the facilities both for the welfare of our animals and for the visitors. One of the actions is the conditioning of a place for saddles and route materials.
2) Participate actively in the improvement of the project by getting involved in some concrete actions such as: creation of a Mediterranean garden: A very special action for us, since we will dedicate it to Alejandro Pérez (Alex), co-worker for years, friend and Excellent person who suddenly left us recently and who, we are sure, will love the idea.
3) Contributes to the maintenance of horses. In two months the forage season begins. Your contribution will help us to buy a better quality forage for the rest of the year. If you want to enjoy a horse ride and the Desert, you plan to visit Almería and enjoy its light, its sun and an adventure, you are a fan of cinema and Western ... we suggest you to participate in this project ... your help will allow us to give the final push to the implementation of the project.
The first route: On March 30, 2021, that's why we started that same day with crowdfunding. We are ready! But much remains to be done and the activity needs to return to normal in order to continue with the project with cadence and good work.
We invite you to participate. In addition to helping, you will be part of an exciting project.
