Its universally recognized and remarkable biodiversity and cultural heritage, which mankind has created and preserved over the time, have been an exceptional source of inspiration to artists, intellectuals and scientists, unveiling the visitors´ emotions as well.

Other places of interest:

- The modernist routes of Cardedeu and La Garriga: Within half an hour´s drive from Can Cuch, these two small towns used to be the favourite summer havens of the Barcelona bourgeoisie at the beginning of the 20th century.

- The Iberian village of Samalus: Situated within the Canoves and Samalus municipal boundaries, 20 minutes´ drive from Can Cuch, this imposing Iberian settlement was inhabited for more than four centuries. Two walls and nine towers have been found so far, although the excavation works have not yet been finished.
