El Bosque Encantado is a botanical attraction in the Sierra Oeste, roughly an hour outside Madrid, set across 30,000 square metres of landscaped grounds. The site combines living plant sculptures, a bonsai mountain, a labyrinth, and an outdoor mineral exhibition across 17 marked trails, making it one of the more unusual green spaces within reach of Madrid attractions. A geodesic dome on site provides a sheltered area suitable for both warm and cold weather, so the visit is viable year-round.

Visitors move through the grounds at their own pace, following the trail network past over 300 botanical features. After dark, the park operates as El Bosque Iluminado, a light installation in which millions of coloured lights are strung throughout the grounds, transforming the trail route into an illuminated evening walk. Coloured lanterns for children are available to purchase separately at the ticket booth. Entry covers daytime access and the night-time illuminated experience. Food, drinks, and guided tours are not included. The starting point is at 217 Camino de Marañones. Note that the site does not have wheelchair access, and tickets are non-refundable.
