Mountain range of Andujar Natural Park

To observe animals

 

Within ecotourism, the observation of the unique flora and fauna of our park and the photographic safaris are some of the disciplines that propose an intimate contact between nature and tourists, at the same time that they have a remarkable educational and awareness-raising power about the environmental problems.

​

The flora and fauna of Andujar and our park, the natural environment and the different ecosystems that coexist in it have a remarkable environmental, cultural and tourist entity. This circumstance entails that numerous companies include in their program of activities and in their catalog of tourist products sightings of flora and fauna, interpretation of nature and the environment, hiking and routes, or experiences such as the bellowing of the deer.

​

The two main measures carried out for the protection and maintenance of this activity are:

• Decent and respectful treatment of wildlife specimens.

• Avoid as much as possible the alterations of the feeding habits, reproduction and transit of the wild fauna.

​

Bird Watching

Bird watching is a species within the genus of flora and fauna observation.

​

The activity gains followers day after day, many of which make trips within their country or abroad to cultivate it, finding in our geography a wide range of possibilities to develop.

​

The Bird Watching basically consists of carrying binoculars, a field guide where you can find the fundamental characteristics of the birds that can potentially be found in the area to visit and a field notebook where you can capture all the vicissitudes, and try to identify many birds as possible.

The Sierra of Andújar is home of 178 species of different birds, some of them of great importance, such as the Iberian imperial eagle and other great raptors, such as the golden eagle and the black vulture.
