BETWEEN THE GOLDEN PLAINS, THE ANCIENT MOUNTAIN RANGE AND THE HIDDEN VALLEYS, EXTREMADURA REVEALS ITSELF AS A PARADISE FOR BIRD LOVERS. EVERY DAY, A NEW WINDOW ON WILDLIFE.

Spain's Extremadura is one of Europe's most extraordinary birdwatching regions. Over the course of five to eight days of exploration, we will travel through vast dehesas, rocky peaks and lush valleys, where emblematic species such as the black vulture, the Iberian imperial eagle, the black stork and the roller can be seen in the wild. Trips are organized to maximize species and habitat diversity, with special attention paid to the best times of light and activity. Each journey offers unique opportunities to deepen your knowledge of behavior, identification techniques and nature photography. These programs are ideal for those who want to experience a true immersion in the biodiversity of the Iberian Peninsula, guided by those who know the region in depth and share a passion for wildlife.
