Experience the magic of rewilding in just one day. Discover two amazing conservation projects by Rewilding Spain and meet some of Europe's most special wild animals.

Join us for an unforgettable day visiting two unique rewilding sites in the Southern Iberian System. First, you'll meet the incredible Przewalski horses - ancient wild horses that once disappeared from the wild and are now helping to restore natural landscapes. These rare animals are true living legends, brought back from the edge of extinction.

Next, meet our \four-legged firefighters\ - Serrano horses and Tauros cattle grazing on lands that were devastated by a huge fire 20 years ago. Watch how these amazing animals are helping to restore the burned terrain and prevent future fires by naturally keeping the vegetation under control.

Your expert guides will share the fascinating stories behind each project, explaining how these animals are key players in rewilding efforts. Learn about the challenges and successes of bringing nature back to life in one of Europe's wildest regions.

Between visits, enjoy a delicious field lunch, tasting the authentic flavors of this beautiful mountain region.

Perfect for wildlife lovers, conservation enthusiasts, or anyone curious about how we can help nature heal itself.

Includes: Guided visits to both rewilding projects and traditional lunch in the nature. Small groups for the best wildlife viewing experience.

*Rewilding Spain has different projects; we can adapt your rewilding day to the ones that interest you most.

How your experience helps rewilding efforts

In a region where depopulation is one of the main challenges, we work exclusively with local partners. 100% of your experience - from travel agency to restaurant, guides to accommodations - comes from the territory itself, helping to change the economic model and show that nature-based tourism benefits everyone. Supporting Conservation: A portion of your visit directly funds habitat management, wildlife monitoring, and ongoing conservation projects led by Rewilding Spain in the Southern Iberian System. Building Awareness: Through guided visits and expert explanations, you become an ambassador for rewilding, sharing knowledge and supporting conservation efforts beyond your visit. Empowering Local Communities: By choosing local restaurants, guides, and services, your visit helps create sustainable income opportunities that encourage communities to actively support rewilding initiatives. Creating Economic Alternatives: Your participation demonstrates that wildlife and wild landscapes have real economic value, offering local communities a sustainable alternative to traditional activities that may harm the environment.

About the listing author

Hello, I'm Soraya.

I've been working in this incredible region for five years now, and honestly, I fall more in love with it every single day. As a nature guide and environmental educator, I've spent countless hours exploring every corner of this landscape—from hidden valleys to ancient oak forests—and I still discover something new each time I'm out there. What I love most is sharing these discoveries with visitors. When I take you out on the trails, I'm not just pointing out plants and animals—I'm showing you a place that has completely captured my heart. I know the best spots to see wildlife, the stories behind the landscapes, and how all the pieces fit together in this rewilding puzzle we're all part of. This territory has taught me so much about resilience, both in nature and in the communities that call it home. When you explore it with me, you're not just getting a guide—you're getting someone who genuinely believes this place can change how you see conservation and rural life.
