We recommend giving a guided tour of the animal refuge to first-time visitors. They’ll meet all the refuge’s animals and understand the importance of the Zoo of the Pyrenees in protecting wild animals.
Note: The Zoo of the Pyrenees cannot be visited without the accompaniment of an animal trainer. Therefore, a guided tour is the only way to see all the animals living in the sanctuary.
We recommend combining the guided tour with an activity where guests come into direct contact with the animals.
