Laberintus Park: discover the largest maze in Spain

Nestled among agricultural plots, Laberintus Park adds a unique touch to the rural landscape of Humilladero (Málaga): with its 7,400 square meters of ... area, it is the largest maze in Spain. It is a challenge for lovers of puzzles, kicking off a new season in September filled with novelties and original proposals.

Laberintus Park is a project by Rafael Mesa, born from extensive research. "I wanted to start a business in my town, something different, innovative and I began studying various experiences conducted in Northern Europe and the United States," he recalls.

Regardless of its difficulty, one of the most attractive features of Laberintus Park at first glance is its spectacular and beautiful design, created by Adrian Fisher, the British master of mazes, who described it as "a living work of art" after seeing the completed project. "It's a pride that he recognizes it as one of the most beautiful he has done throughout his long professional career," Rafael highlights.

The first 'biotechnological' maze

Laberintus Park features a powerful and innovative concept in its design and maintenance: it is the world's first 'biotechnological' maze. "This project took me almost nine years to execute, a long gestation during which opportunities, modifications, and new ideas emerged. During this process, I discovered that a young man from Seville had managed to harness the energy produced by plants, making them function as biological switches," recalls Rafael. The large forest mass that makes up Laberintus Park has allowed the introduction of this innovative technology in specific areas of the maze, contributing to its operation and maintenance.

Another unique feature of Laberintus Park is its interactive nature: the maze, far from being a rigid route, maintains a flexible structure, allowing the difficulty of the possible routes to be modified. "From the beginning, it was created as a dynamic maze: depending on the position we place a series of doors and other elements, we can create a longer or more difficult route. If you add other elements like water doors, we have the possibility to create an infinite number of mazes," he points out.

Although visitors are usually offered one of the easier options first, Rafael admits, laughing, that every day "we have to rescue several people. But the fact of getting lost and finding oneself is an experience worth living."

Moreover, it includes various intelligence tests within, adding to the solemnity and beauty of the maze a concept similar to 'escape rooms'. "It's not just about reaching the center and exiting, but it's also themed. It has a game inside that consists of searching for various elements and answering a series of questions until solving a riddle," Rafael clarifies.

All kinds of outdoor activities

In addition, Laberintus Park is a versatile space in the middle of nature, allowing enjoyment of other types of outdoor activities. "We have a traditional games area, created with recycled materials, where both adults and children can enjoy and share entertaining moments," he details.

A draw to explore the maze under the full moon light

For the new season starting this September after closing in August for essential maintenance and setup, Laberintus Park will offer visitors new and exciting proposals.

"We are going to hold a draw on our social media next week so that six couples can have a unique experience: the opportunity to do the maze under the full moon light," announces Rafael. A memorable plan to which Laberintus Park will add the best possible finishing touch: after completing the course, the winning couples can enjoy a session of local wine pairing under the starlight.

The Ripper's Garden: the most terrifying maze

In its effort to always surprise the public, Laberintus Park will resume one of its most successful experiences in mid-October, heating up the atmosphere for the celebration of Halloween: a weekend of terror, with a new version of The Ripper's Garden, where lovers of fear and suspense could enjoy the fully themed maze at night.

"Another of the surprises we have for this season is the gamification of the maze experience: we have created a digital game, with augmented reality, where lovers of this type of experiences will have to solve a mystery while finding the exit, and are stalked by hidden dangers! A whole adventure between the physical and digital world, and also a pioneer at a global level," Rafael advances.

"We have prepared many more activities that we will be posting on our social media throughout the year, like concerts, period theming, etc… We have many projects for this new season, but allow me not to reveal them all: we recommend following us on our social media profiles to discover them," Rafael concludes.
