Journey into the heart of one of Europe’s most vital ecosystems with our exclusive 2-day Doñana National Park experience. Departing from Seville, we’ll delve deep into the diverse landscapes of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering an unparalleled opportunity to witness its natural wonders and rich biodiversity.
Our adventure begins with a morning pick-up, the timing carefully chosen to align with the optimal wildlife activity, as observed by our expert guides. We’ll venture into the northern wetlands of Doñana Natural Park, a haven for countless bird species and a vital rice-growing region. Here, the confluence of the Guadalquivir and Guadiamar rivers creates a unique habitat, teeming with life.
Next, we’ll step back in time as we visit the enchanting village of El Rocío. With its sandy streets and traditional marshland architecture, El Rocío exudes an old-world charm. We’ll explore the village, culminating in a visit to the iconic Hermitage, the focal point of the world-renowned Rocío pilgrimage.
Our exploration continues as we delve into the park’s diverse ecosystems. We’ll traverse the Acebrón Palaces and the Rocina Stream area, embarking on a captivating circular trail that unveils the secrets of a gallery forest. Following our hike, there will be a lunch break (at your own expense) at a charming nearby eatery.
In the afternoon, we’ll experience the pristine beauty of the Doñana beach west of Matalascañas, more than 30 kilometres of undeveloped coastline. We’ll explore its unique flora and fauna, and witness the fascinating process of mobile dune formation. Weather permitting, we’ll enjoy a refreshing dip in the Atlantic before returning to El Rocío for an evening of leisure and relaxation. You’ll have ample time to settle into your rural accommodation and savor a delightful dinner (at your own expense) at one of the village’s local restaurants.
Day two begins, after breakfast (not included), with an exploration of Doñana’s other captivating ecosystems. We’ll visit the El Acebuche lynx breeding centre, the heart of the Iberian lynx conservation project, where dedicated efforts are underway to protect this endangered species.
We’ll then venture into the park’s most secluded forested areas, providing exceptional opportunities to observe Doñana’s diverse wildlife, including large mammals. After a morning of discovery, there will be a lunch break (at your own expense), followed by a final opportunity to soak in the park’s serene atmosphere before our return journey to Seville.
