Context The Iberian lynx tracking route takes place in Sierra Morena, Córdoba, a protected natural area featuring pine forests, olive groves, and Mediterranean scrubland. This region hosts the largest population of Iberian lynx, with a habitat that supports both conservation efforts and the presence of iconic species such as the Spanish imperial eagle. The trail climbs gently about 150 meters over 7.5 km, offering accessible access to a richly biodiverse environment.

The Experience You’ll begin with a briefing in Adamuz, followed by a walk along trails where the wind carries scents of pine and Mediterranean scrub.
