Scientific ecotourism

This experience allows us to learn about and contribute to the Bearded Vulture reintroduction conservation project, an international success story. We begin with a visit to the Bearded Vulture Conservation Foundation's Visitor Center in Benia de Onís, where we will be able to learn about the details of how the reintroduction of the Bearded Vulture is carried out in the Picos de Europa. There we will be able to know perfectly the details of how the reintroduction of the Bearded Vulture is carried out in the Picos de Europa. The technicians will go a little further, and we will be able to see how the individualized tracking of each specimen is done through the GPS tracker and we will see details of the project that are not shown to the general public. Afterwards, we will go in search of these vultures to the area of the Covadonga Lakes, in the Mirador de la Reina, where on Fridays a contribution of food is made to teach the young bearded vultures a social habit. It is the best day to enjoy the observation of various types of vultures and eagles, and it is possible that in the company of the project technicians we can try to find some specimens with the field location equipment.
