Rukimon - Rucs del Corredor

Welcome to Rukimon, the reserve where all the donkey breeds of the Iberian Peninsula live together. Located in the Sierra del Corredor ( Dosrius ), within the Montnegre-Corredor Natural Park, in the Maresme region (45 minutes from Barcelona ).

Venture on foot through the pastures of the reserve and discover the habitat of these animals as you get to know them and interact with them up close.

Whatever your age, whether alone, with family or in a group, you will find the perfect getaway to disconnect with the vastness of the natural space and the tranquility of the donkeys.

The reservation

The Corredor Donkey Reserve is home to approximately fifty donkeys. It covers 10 hectares and has an area prepared for visitors, allowing them to see some of the donkeys up close and stroll through their natural habitat. Rukimon is the only park where, alongside the Catalan donkey, you can find and compare examples of all the donkey breeds of the Iberian Peninsula.

It's a unique offer!

The park can be visited on foot, free of charge, and takes approximately half an hour. It is signposted and has explanatory signs.

Within the grounds you will find restrooms, covered picnic areas, a small bar service and play areas.

School activities

Starting from the unique characteristics of donkeys and their environment, we developed a creative and rigorous pedagogy based on children's ability to establish their connection with nature.

Against the general lack of nature we suffer, we create ways that bring us closer to feeling it and relating to the environment and the beings that inhabit it.

We utilize the benefits of interacting with donkeys, integrating them into the pastures and forest where they live. We create bonds of affection and camaraderie that provide well-being and security to each participating child.

The program-script is adapted to each level and we can delve deeper into the subjects of study that you request.

We would love to have you with us!
