LYNXAIA – Ecoturismo
At LYNXAIA – Ecoturismo we work with the aim of highlighting the area’s natural features, such as its flora, fauna, geology and landscape, as well as its cultural elements (historical sites, ethnology and archaeology of Sierra Morena, habitat of the Iberian Lynx).
The natural and cultural elements of the protected areas of the Sierra de Aracena Natural Park, and particularly of the Sierra Morena, need to be highlighted in order to make visitors and locals aware of their fragility, beauty and value.
