Behavioural Biology & Nature Expedition in Andalusia

Experience ten unforgettable days of adventure, research, and wildlife observation in southern Spain. Our expedition seamlessly combines the fascination of wild animals with scientific learning, breathtaking landscapes, and captivating cultural experiences.

At Lobo Park in Antequera, you will immerse yourself in the world of wolves. You will observe various subspecies in spacious enclosures, gaining insight into their behaviour and learning to document it professionally. Building on this, we will explore the fascinating relationship between wolves and dogs – their similarities, their differences, and the foundations of different dog breeds. We will discuss the traits that define dogs and consider which breed truly suits which type of owner. This section is complemented by excursions to Antequera’s historic treasures, including its impressive dolmens, and to the Laguna Fuente de Piedra, a natural haven where we will observe and identify flamingos and numerous other bird species.

In the second part of the expedition, we journey to the southernmost tip of mainland Spain, Tarifa. Between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, we will explore the surrounding hills and beaches, observing the local wildlife. A boat trip through the Strait of Gibraltar will offer the chance to see various species of dolphins and whales. Time for the beach, gentle walks, short hikes, and the charming old town will perfectly round off the experience. On our return, we will visit the spectacular city of Ronda, famous for its dramatic gorges and historic architecture.

This expedition is ideal for anyone wishing to experience nature up close, while remaining open to history, art, and culture.
