Wildlife behaviour
The photograph of the iberian lynx in its natural habitat is a unique experience. The environment of the hide is run by a family group in which we can observe adults, young adults and puppies
The Sierra de Andújar has the privilege of being the great stronghold of the iberian lynx, a species endemic to the iberian peninsula, which, due mainly to the destruction of habitat and the reduction of the populations of rabbit, it was on the brink of extinction by the beginning of the century, and, until recently, has held the dubious title of being the most endangered feline in the world. Luckily the situation was being operated on in time, and after great efforts ranging from the captive-breeding and reintroduction of the species to the reinforcement of populations of rabbit, lynx back to regain the territories which belong to him.
The day is divided in two sessions of about 5 hours, adjusting the schedule to each season of the year. With artificial lighting for the times when you lower the natural light.
The hides, providing a very good guarantee of success, are open without glass spy, and the distances to the animals can go from 5 to 40 meters, being the most usual distances of about 10 meters. Smoking is strictly prohibited and make noise in the interior of the hide, as well as out of the same. If a problem arises you will be notified to the guide.
