Rewilding Day Iberian Highlands

Discover two amazing conservation projects by Rewilding Spain and meet some of Europe's most legendary wild animals. An unforgettable day visiting two unique rewilding sites in the Southern Iberian System.

What better way to discover rewilding than by living it directly?

Experience the magic of rewilding in just one day.

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 to act as key architects of the ecosystem.

Next, venture into the territory of the European bison. Watch these "ecosystem engineers" in action as their presence reshapes the forest, creating space for new life and increasing local biodiversity. Seeing the largest land mammal in Europe roaming these mountains is a powerful reminder of nature’s resilience.

Your guides will share the fascinating stories behind each project, explaining how these animals are key players in rewilding efforts and the challenges of bringing nature back to life in one of Europe's wildest regions. It is the perfect day for wildlife lovers, conservation enthusiasts, or anyone curious about how we can help nature heal itself.

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.
