Nature experience in Doñana
Why it’s interesting? You will be able to get to know one of the most spectacular landscapes of the Doñana National Park: the moving sand dune system, which is also one of the only ones that remain in the Iberian Peninsula. You will understand the formation process of this dune system, and the strategies that different species develop to survive in these difficult conditions. You will enjoy walking through one of the last virgin beaches of the Spanish coast, seeing the thirty kilometers that extend between the town centre of Matalascañas and the mouth of the Guadalquivir river.

Tour Reviews
Do not miss the opportunity to go with Maria Paz on an ecotour. She is gracious, knowledgable, and fun! She picked us up in a comfortable van and took us around to Doñana National Park to see three distinct habitats with the park and the animals that live there. We saw so many birds. My favorite where the flamingos! Great trip for families and bird lovers.
