Trip Overview
If you love nature, wildlife and the outdoors then you will love our Wildlife Holidays Spain.
Based in rural Aragon, this is one of Europe’s most unexplored and unspoilt regions.
We are Simon and Lucy your hosts and you will be staying at our renovated 17th century farmhouse.
We live within the Pyrenees Geopark, and close to the Ordesa National Park. Our daily outings will take us to explore these outstanding areas, making the most of our location.
The Ordesa National Park is also a World Biosphere Reserve and a ‘Special Protection Area for Birds’. We have more than 1500 species of flowers, 171 species of birds, over 131 species of butterflies, of which 8 are endemic, and 32 different species of mammals.
We are passionate about the countryside as are our carefully selected Nature Experts.
Join us as we show you the fauna and flora of the area and learn a little of the geology and the human stories in this secret corner of the Pyrenees.

Wildlife Holidays Spain Reviews
What an amazing experience! Lucy and Simon are fantastic hosts who show great compassion for their local surrounds and wider environment. The beds are very comfy and the food is delicious. Their knowledge of the local flora and fauna is superb and this is augmented by the brilliant experts they employ for all our trips.
The small group number means everyone gets to hear and see an incredible amount.

What can I say. The whole experience was fantastic. Simon and Lucy make you really welcome in their home. It is not a hotel it is a home! The food should be served in the smartest of restaurants, exceptional every day.
The farmhouse is beautiful and the accommodation is everything you would want and more. All mod cons in a lovely historic setting.
The wildlife is exceptional and the use of local experts to act as guides is a real bonus. They were all so knowledgeable and enthusiastic you couldn’t help be excited.
This holiday is an absolute treat. No one could possibly be disappointed.
