Bosque de Valorio is a 60-hectare woodland park situated on the northern outskirts of Zamora, serving as the city's primary green lung. The park is characterized by its hilly topography and extensive reforestation efforts featuring poplars, elms, and pines. It features an integrated network of trails suitable for hiking, trail running, and mountain biking. A notable environmental project within the park is the recuperation of native flora and the maintenance of several natural water springs. The site provides panoramic views of the city of Zamora and the Duero River valley. Several picnic areas equipped with wooden tables and benches are distributed along the main routes. The park also hosts a specialized mountain bike circuit and areas designated for outdoor fitness.

Do not attempt to traverse the steeper mountain bike circuits unless you are an experienced cyclist, as these paths can be technically challenging.
Leash your dogs in designated areas, carry out all trash to maintain the natural environment, and stay on marked paths to prevent erosion.
