The bear is the animal that brings people to Somiedo; the wolf is the one almost nobody manages to see. Somiedo Experience, the wildlife guides of Pola de Somiedo, propose trying in a wolf area on the edge of the council that they say they have studied in depth, with groups of only two to four people.
What it is like
About four hours: an approach walk to the observation point and a wait of around two hours, motionless, with binoculars and spotting telescopes that the guide provides and shows you how to use. Meanwhile, the guide talks about the surroundings, flora, fauna and the life of the Iberian wolf, its habits and its situation today. There is never an approach: you observe from a distance so as not to disturb the animals. If demand is high, more than one guide goes out.
Price and conditions
It costs €60 per person, with VAT and accident insurance included. It is only for over-14s. The meeting point and time are not fixed: they depend on the time of year and are agreed when you book. The company is clear that the wolf may not appear that day: hiding is its way of surviving. What they guarantee is taking you to a good area.
What to combine it with
If you come for a weekend, it fits with the company's dawn bear watching trip, which admits from age 8, and with an independent walk to the Saliencia lakes. To sleep close to the departure points, Pola de Somiedo, with the Castillo del Alba or Casa Miño.
