Experience Description: The first part of the day will allow us to explain the process of recovering a species at risk of extinction: the bearded vulture, from the 1980s to today, led by FCQ (Foundation for the Conservation of the Bearded Vulture) 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 (this can take place the afternoon before the hide session or the afternoon of the hide session day—confirm at the time of booking). Duration: 2 hours.
The second part consists of observing the species in its natural habitat within the Ordesa National Park (viewpoints of Revilla, San Vicenda, etc.). Accompanied by mountain guides, you will learn about this fantastic bird of prey surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and its interactions with other mountain inhabitants: chamois, marmots, golden eagles, as well as flocks of sheep and goats, with which the bearded vulture is closely related. Duration: 5 hours, with a morning departure for this purpose.
