An area of more than 54,000 hectares and different aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems such as beaches, forests, dunes or marshes, give this national park the ideal characteristics to host a unique biodiversity in Europe.

This large World Heritage listed Mediterranean wetland is a stopover, breeding and wintering ground for thousands of European and African birds and has one of the largest populations of herons in the Mediterranean region. It is also home to wild horses and emblematic species such as the imperial eagle and the Iberian lynx.

Doñana National Park is divided into two separate areas: north and south. Two natural areas with strong contrasts between them and that you can explore completely only in a 4×4 vehicle accompanied by an expert guide of the area. The entire environment of the national park is protected with the figure of natural park, here you can walk and enjoy the fauna and flora of Doñana.

The 4×4 route through the northern area lasts about 4 hours in which we will cross forests and marshes. We will have exclusive access to restricted areas where several endangered species live. In the middle of the morning we will stop for a tasty picnic in the middle of the national park while we watch birds and other species characteristic of the area.

At midday you will have time for a free visit to El Rocío, a peculiar village that is known for the pilgrimage of the Rocío pilgrimage, a religious event that takes place between May and June and which attracts more than one and a half million people every year. Here you can enjoy the rich gastronomy of Huelva by having lunch on your own in one of the local restaurants..

The 4×4 route in the southern zone lasts about 3 hours. Here, a completely different landscape awaits us from the one we saw in the morning. Beaches and dunes that move at the whim of the winds that lash the Atlantic coast of Andalusia. We will get to know the flora and fauna of the area and enjoy the sunset along one of the widest unspoilt coastlines in Europe.

If you are particularly interested in a specific theme for your visit, whether it be photography, bird watching or other animals, we will adapt the tour to your preferences.

If you have time, another interesting option is to stay in the village of El Rocío and visit the park on two separate days.

Choose your type of visit and set off to discover Europe’s largest ecological reserve.
