Hice dos visitas guiadas completas con Miguel Ángel. Fueron dos jornadas excelentes, muy enriquecedoras con avistamientos de muchas especies que cobraron más interés en compañía del guía, muy profesional y agradable. Pude avistar dos linces ibéricos siguiendo sus pasos durante horas, además de vivir una gran experiencia con el avistamiento de una pareja de nutrias que desfilaron y salieron a superficie en nuestras narices. No me olvido del muflón, ciervos, gamos, cabra montesa, conejos, águila imperial, águila real, buitre negro (uno intentando emparentarse), búho real, garza, martin pescador y otras bellas especies. En general una práctica totalmente recomendable.![]()

We were so impressed with the service provided by Naturoots on our trip to Andujar to view the Iberian Lynx in early November . Daniel and Miguel made our tailor made viewing so personalised and enjoyable we cannot recommend them enough. Everything we wanted to see was made fulfilled due to the knowledge and enthusiasm of our guide Miguel. He did everything to make this trip one of the best wildlife viewing trips to Spain we have ever done, in fact we have travelled throughout the world in many countries, and have rated this experience among the best .![]()

We recently did a 4x4 tour on the public part of the Sierra de Andújar with our guide Miguel Angel. The tour was conducted in English and explanations were great: entertaining and accurate. He covered of course the wildlife of the area, but also it's geology, exploitation and history. We genuinely enjoyed the tour and getting to know the Sierra. We spotted many animal species, some of which are unique to Spain, and others which are endangered (in Spanish): rabilargo, pinzón, buitre negro, buitre leonado, águila imperial, cernícalo común, mochuelo, avión roquero, búho real (canto), cormorán, lagarto ocelado, ciervo, gamo, Ibex ibérico, cabra montés, conejo. In summary, very much recommended for those who want to get to know the Sierra!![]()

Incredible!! Miguel was an amazing guide through the varied habitat of the Sierra Andujar. He was extremely knowledgeable due to his vast experience working in conservation, and can spot animals keenly. We saw deer, moufflon, a variety of birds, and a family of lynxes. An absolutely amazing experience that I will surely repeat. If you’re a wildlife photographer visiting Spain, this tour is a must. Thanks again, Miguel.![]()

I cannot say enough good things about our tour with Miguel! He was knowledgeable, patient, gracious, and knew exactly where to take us for the best wildlife viewing. We got to watch a family of lynxes for almost two hours—an absolutely incredible experience.![]()

We did the full day trip and Miguel was our guide. He was excellent. As a biologist I was impressed by his knowledge about the ecology and conservation management of not only the lynx but also of the other animals and plants that inhabit this beautiful Mediterranean forest. He is a keen observer and spotted a lot of wildlife and showed us some interesting plants. He is also a very nice and entertaining person. We highly recommend Miguel and Natureroots!![]()
