    The route to the forest is currently closed. And don't be a hero - despite the beginning of the route being just a stone road, it will get bad in the second half. The road becomes an unprepared route, full of mud and puddles, and then just disappears on a forest hill some 700-800m before the deatination. Hiking boots and some endurance are a requirement, not an option. Don't go there unless you are prepared for a hike! Or maybe wait until the finish the road in the future :)

    Really beautiful place! The loop walk is worth doing, it took us awhile to work out that there are markers on the ground to indicate which way you are meant to stand to view certain parts of the Forrest -- parking can be painful but if you arrive later in the day (avoid lunch hours) you could have more luck.

    Very interesting experience. Worth the visit if you're in the neighborhood. 20min walk from the car park where there are 2 restaurants. Can be overcrowded in the afternoon as several scholar groups go there to have lunch. Nevertheless the car park is small compared to the number of visitors

    It say closed. But turn right where the sign is. Follow the road a bit. Than you see some trees still

    It's nice trail, little bit challenging tho. The art here is precious, yet it is a good idea to have a bottle of water with you as on the way to the destination there is no facilities. Around ~45 minutes one way trip.

    Quite unique :) I did expect it to be a bit more impressing, but worth a visit nonetheless! Be sure to park at the Lezika restaurant (lots of parking space, and also the entrance to the Santimamiñe cave), if you just follow GPS to Bosque de Oma you might end up a long way from the actual entrance. If you follow the path down in the painted forest you might even find an old 4x4 in the middle of the forest

    Couldn’t go in as it was closed for refurbishment. The nice guy at the caves said the forest isn’t the same anymore anyway as it was painted by ‘the hippies’ so long ago that the trees have grown and colours faded. Would have gone in if it was open, but not sure I will try and go back as apparently it’s not really worth it. He did say while it’s closed that people jump the fence to get in, and no one gets told off for doing so......we didn’t try though.

    Beautiful natural place with fascinating and original atmosphere. Nice walk starting from the cave site of Santinanime. Particularly nice view on the way back in a beautiful valley accessible by car only by residents. Better with comfortable shoes. Think about water no bar on the road.

    The walk to the actual forest is very easy and enjoyable, although I wouldn't recommend it on rainy days unless you don't mind ending up completely covered in mud. It's a dog friendly walk too. The paintings are very interesting. Also very good for kids.

    Couldn’t find a painted tree 😅 But we have found some interesting animals

    It seems the trees have got some disease and we could not find anything

    They said it was closed. How can you close a forest? It makes no sense. You can just walk around the fence and all good. Fat people avoid coming here if you can't walk for a little bit. They make you park away from the actual forest so you don't bother the neighbours of the area, which makes sense to me. I don't want tourists coming to my home to check some random paints on the forest... Overall was good. Maybe a bit of a fuzz over the paints by itself but an okay walk!

👍👍 Paraje espectacular para disfrutar, aprender y comprender que debemos cuidar mucho más nuestro entorno. Una gran labor con los animales y la naturaleza. Un sitio fundamental para ir con niños y pasar un par de horas preciosas. Animales que en el día a día no se pueden ver (jabalíes, lince, bisontes....
