Description

Visit to a birds authentic paradise, an exceptional route through the most important tidal marshes in the Iberian Peninsula

The Marismas del Odiel Biosphere Reserve is the second largest wetland in the province of Huelva after Doñana and one of the most important tidal marshes in Western Europe. The sediments of the Tinto and Odiel rivers created this estuary where we find a true paradise for birds.

Hand in hand with our expert bird watching guide, we offer you this private half-day visit to the “Kingdom of the Tides” for the sighting of waders, seabirds and other aquatic birds. Through the road that connects some of the islands in the Odiel Marshes, we will arrive at the Anastasio Senra Visitor Center to continue south of the area, learning about the history and the singularities of this special protected area.
