Enter the fascinating world of birds in the heart of El Hondo Natural Park with our exciting ornithological route, which will take you from the Visitor Centre to Finca El Rincón, accompanied by an expert ornithological guide and enjoying a delicious picnic in the middle of nature!
El Hondo is one of the most important wetlands in Spain, a SCI, SPA, RAMSAR wetland and Natural Park. It stands out for its great diversity, being a unique landscape enclave where there are important populations of White-headed Duck and Marbled Teal, both species included in the red book of endangered species in Spain and scarce in Europe.
This route passes through some of the observatories of the different itineraries of the park (yellow, green and blue) close to the lagoon. To visit the Hondo is to get to know and understand the transformation of this space of exceptional ecological and landscape value and to learn to appreciate the enormous life that exists between the salt marshes and the historic palm orchards. Enjoying this space in a pleasant and peaceful way with the guidance of a guide makes it an unforgettable experience.
Our day will begin at the park's Visitor Centre, where we will meet our ornithological guide, who will accompany us throughout the route and guide us in the observation of the birds that inhabit the area.
We will begin our walk along the winding paths that meander through the wetlands and salt marshes of the park, where we will have the opportunity to spot a wide variety of aquatic and migratory birds, such as flamingos, avocets, herons and many more. With the help of our guide, we will learn to identify the different species and understand their behaviour and habitats.
As we make our way through the picturesque landscape of the park, we will stop at several strategic observation points, where we can enjoy panoramic views of the wetlands and spot birds in their natural environment. Our guide will share his knowledge of the local birdlife and provide us with interesting information about the species we observe.
And to recharge our batteries, we will stop at a quiet spot for a delicious picnic or snack, where we will savour a selection of local products while we relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.
At the end of the day, we will return to the Visitor Centre with the satisfaction of having explored one of the most impressive bird sanctuaries in the region.
