Great trip with Sergio who knows this area very well and is keen to show you the right spots. A lynx passed us about 2 mtrs away and we were able to take some unique pictures. Unforgetable experience!!

Sergio is a very talented tour guide and his knowledge of the Iberian Lynx and its habitat is by far the best I have witnessed, having previously done 5 Lynx tours with other professional operators. He did provide us with 2 excellent sightings on the day and it is evident this is his backyard. His primary concern is the welfare of the animal so all in all a very professional company which I highly recommend.

Our guide Sergio showed himself to be a very knowledgeable lynx expert, who was able to indicate some very good spots for lynx watchingâ€”even on a very busy public holiday. Going on a tour with him is a great way to (try and) spot the majestic Iberian Lynx.
