Cantabrian Brown Bear Sighting

Explore the Somiedo Natural Park and see the Cantabrian brown bear with this fantastic trip from Pola de Somiedo. Learn about the features of this species and experience a day in the heart of the Asturian countryside.

Description

We'll meet up at 4:30 pm at the Interpretation Centre in the Natural Park of Somiedo. You'll need to come in your own car, and after gathering, we will drive as we follow the guide's vehicle to the mountains, the natural habitat of the Cantabrian brown bear.

Throughout the afternoon, we'll explore Somiedo in search of this species, visiting optimal locations based on the weather. Using binoculars, you may observe magnificent specimens of Cantabrian brown bears, including adult bears with their cubs, as their population has increased significantly in recent decades.

During the route, we may also encounter wild boars, deer, or chamois. We will eventually return to Pola de Somiedo to conclude our day among the Brown Bears.

Bear watching

Somiedo Natural Park is a prime location in Asturias for observing Cantabrian brown bears. However, the animals are unpredictable. The number of sightings will depend on various factors, including the weather and breeding seasons of different species.
