Cantabrian Brown Bear Sighting
Activity Details
We'll meet up at the designated time at the Interpretation Centre in the Natural Park of Somiedo. You'll need to come in your own car, and when we're all together, we'll each drive as we follow the guide's car and head for the mountains of this beautiful part of Asturias, the natural habitat of the Cantabrian brown bear.
Throughout the afternoon, we'll explore Somiedo in search of this amazing Iberian animal. We'll visit the best locations for spotting them, depending on the weather on that particular day.
With the help of binoculars, you'll be able to spot magnificent specimens of Cantabrian brown bears. In this part of Asturias, it's very common to see adult bears with their cubs: their population has tripled in recent decades.
During the route, we may also spot wild boars, deer, or chamois, so keep an eye out at all times! Finally, we'll return to the original starting point in Pola de Somiedo, where our day among the brown bears will come to an end after a total of 5.5 hours
Bear Watching
Somiedo Natural Park is one of the best places in the Principality of Asturias to see Cantabrian brown bears. However, the animals are unpredictable. The sighting of a greater or lesser number of specimens will depend on various factors, such as the weather at the time or the reproduction and breeding seasons of the different species.
