Introduction

This exclusive photographic tour is a dream for most photographers. The beauty and magnificent presence of these handsome creatures soaring in the skies above the landscape of the Aragonese Pyrenees is something unforgetable for those photographers who have had the luck to experience such a combination. This tour is specifically designed for two photographers, preferably friends, sharing a hide at 1500 mts. near the area holding the highest density of Lammergeiers in Europe, few kilometers far from the expectacular Ordesa National Pak. Almost 50 Lammergeiers of all ages are regular visitors of the area. Weather permitting you will have excellent chances to photograph the birds in flight or on the ground at very short distance. You can visit the area in a Guided tour or Independent.

Guided: You can follow the itinerary below. We will meet you at your arrival airport ,preferebly Barcelona, and we will take care of you till we leave you back at the airport. Transport to the hide will be via a rough dirt track in a comfortable 4x 4 vehicle. To complement the hard work of being in a hide all day we will accommodate close to the hide in a small Pyrenean village of not more than twenty inhabitants. As part of the Boletas 'style' you will stay in a small charm hotel producing exquisite home made cuisine, lamb, veal, wild mushrooms and good wine - a perfect finish to the long day.

Independent: You can use the hides at your convenience, look the prices of the hides use below,staying if you consider conveniente in Hotel Laminana ( They offer anexcellent service at a very competitive price of food and accommodation), few yards for from the hides, and foloowing the internal and local autorities regulations.
