The locations are all with anti-reflective glass, comfortable seating and orientations designed to make the most of natural light, at dawn and at dusk.
We will have the opportunity to photograph the Iberian lynx in the wild, but also owls, hoopoes, woodpeckers, long-tailed tits, red-legged partridges, wild rabbits and many other animals typical of the Mediterranean scrub.
The tour includes all transfers to/from Madrid Airport, to ensure maximum comfort on arrival and departure, as well as all meals, accommodations in double rooms with separate beds (or double room on request) And daily assistance from the Just Explorers team.

During the tour you will participate in professional photo sessions in dedicated huts, located in one of the best areas in Europe for spotting the Iberian lynx. Each station is situated in a dry, open area, near natural pools of water, truly strategic points for observing local wildlife, especially in the early hours of the day and at sunset.
The huts are spacious, comfortable and quiet, with a variable capacity from 2 to 8 seats and equipped with anti-reflective optical glassof the highest quality. The structure allows the use multiple objectives at the same time and move freely, easily following every scene without disturbances or noises.
Animals do not perceive our presence, and no calls, baits or artificial stimuli are ever used: every encounter takes place completely naturally, with absolute respect for the environment.
The sighting distances vary depending on the moment and the subjects, but often the animals move between the 30 and 5 meters from the shed, with episodes in which lynxes come within a meter, curious and completely calm.
In addition to the lynx, you can also photograph foxes, deer, owls, partridges, wild rabbits, hoopoes, woodpeckers, long-tailed tits and Mediterranean birds of prey, in spectacular and authentic contexts.
Our goal is to offer you a truly high-level photographic experience, with the utmost attention to your needs and constant support before, during and after the shoots.
