26, September 2014: Customers of renowned wildlife holiday company Naturetrek can now join the search for the elusive Iberian wildcat, as the company’s latest tailormade wildlife holiday focuses on the Spanish region of Navarra, where these animals can be found. 

Comprised to a large extent of dense forests, uplands, and valleys, Navarra boasts the perfect habitat for the slender, furtive wildcat, and is one of the few regions left in the Iberian Peninsula where they can be found. As such, wildlife enthusiasts embarking on this tailormade wildlife holiday offered by Naturetrek may have the rare privilege of sighting one of these elusive animals in its natural environment, rather than behind an enclosure at a zoo. 

This fascinating tailormade wildlife holiday, which takes place between the 9th and the 16th of March, takes participants to the Pyrenees, where in between potential wildcat sightings they can explore the region’s many other wonders. This mountain range in northern Spain offers spectacular vistas and its diverse fauna not restricted to the wildcat. The area’s avifauna is particularly impressive, and participants in this six-day tour can expect to sight such birds as Wallcreepers, Crossbills, Golden Eagles, Long-winged vultures and, in winter, snow finches. 

Throughout this expedition, participants will be accompanied by specialised guides, who will share their vast knowledge of the area’s geography, fauna and flora, as well as on the wildcat itself. 

Prices for this holiday start at £995 per person, with two people sharing. These fees include flights from London, all transport on the tour, family-run hotel accommodation, food and expert guiding.
