Tour itinerary

Day 1: Meeting and exploring Sierra Morena

We will meet in Málaga in the morning (around 9 am) and drive till our single base (around 3h +  stops). Our first expedition will take place in the afternoon, exploring some Lynx territories in Sierra Morena.

We'll get to our hotel with time enough to unpack before dinner.

The Lynx hides

We work with the best few companies offering top quality Lynx photography hides. These wooden hides are equipped with top-quality spyglass. Standard hide capacity is 2 photographers, but other hides are either individual or can host more than 2 people. You should not expect to find WCs in the hide and should be capable of using alternative means.

You will try several different hides throughout the tour. We can't provide specific hide names until a few days prior to the trip as we aim to provide the best available Lynx hide at the given moment. Last-minute hide status is much appreciated.
