Experience Description: We invite you to observe and photograph Pyrenean scavenger birds of prey (bearded vultures, black vultures, griffon vultures, Egyptian vultures, red kites, black kites, and golden eagles) in two different Pyrenean settings with different Hides: the Aínsa scavenger bird feeding station (near the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park) and in Pallars Sobirà (near the Alt Pirineu Nature Park) in the village of Buseu, where you will have a unique experience staying in a village restored for and by Ecotourism purposes.
Later in the afternoon session, FCQ (Foundation for the Conservation of the Bearded Vulture) specialists, will explain the process of recovering a species at risk of extinction: the bearded vulture, from the 1980s to today, led by said FCQ specialists. What caused its gradual disappearance? What issues have been tackled? What have been the key factors in its slow but steady recovery, and which actors have been involved from a conservation and scientific perspective? This activity takes place at the Eco Museum of Aínsa Castle and includes a full visit to the museum and observation of the non-releasable bearded vultures (Duration: 2 hours).
After the visit, transfer (not included) to Buseu (Lleida), about two hours from Aínsa. Accommodation at Casa Felip (Buseu Project).
The morning is dedicated to observing and photographing bearded vultures, black vultures, griffon vultures, and Egyptian vultures (depending on the season) from a photographic hide or from a photographic observatory, the latter being ideal for groups and families.
In the afternoon, enjoy free time to rest and take in the magnificent natural surroundings. At dusk, it is possible to observe deer very close to the accommodation. There is also an option for a golden eagle hide in the evening. Accommodation at Casa Felip (Buseu Project).
