[Pui Hang](https://natureslens.co.uk/with/pui-hang/) is leading [several Iberian Lynx photography trips](https://natureslens.co.uk/for/iberian-lynx/) in [2026](https://natureslens.co.uk/during/2026/), based out of a lodge near Jaén in the Sierra Morena region of Andalucía. The trips run in both summer & winter, offering different photographic conditions & different looks to the lynx themselves. The Iberian Lynx is one of [Europe](https://natureslens.co.uk/discover/europe/)’s rarest predators. The Sierra Morena population has recovered well from its critical lows, but sightings still require patience, fieldcraft & well-positioned hides. That’s what these trips are built around. ## Summer 2026 – June Trips The [June trips](https://natureslens.co.uk/for/iberian-lynx/) are available in 3-night or 7-night formats. Summer conditions give you longer daylight, active lynx behaviour & a green, lush backdrop to the Andalucían landscape. The 7-night option includes morning & afternoon hide sessions on days 2–7, each lasting at least four hours. That’s substantial time in the hides — enough to build familiarity with individual animals & their patterns. The package covers full-board accommodation, transfers from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport to the lodge, & all hide access. The hides are comfortable, with bathroom facilities inside, & accessible without difficult terrain.

The lynx have thicker winter coats, the landscape takes on warmer tones, & the lower sun angle produces better directional light for much of the day. This 7-night trip includes twelve hide sessions across the week, giving you more time with the animals than the summer format. [Pui Hang](https://natureslens.co.uk/with/pui-hang/) leads this trip as well, so the guiding standard & approach are consistent. ## What Is The 7-Night Itinerary? Day 1 is arrival & transfer from Málaga to the lodge near Jaén. Days 2–7 follow the same pattern: morning hide session, return to the lodge for lunch & a break, then afternoon hide session. Day 8 is the return transfer to Málaga airport. ## About the Location The Parque Natural de Sierra Morena is one of the [Iberian Lynx](https://natureslens.co.uk/photograph/iberian-lynx/)’s stronghold territories. The landscape is a mix of dense Mediterranean scrub, cork oak woodland & rolling hills — good habitat for both the lynx & their primary prey, the European rabbit. The hides are positioned in areas with established lynx activity, which is why the sighting rates on these trips are consistently strong. ## Trip Details & Booking Full details for each trip: [June Iberian Lynx Photography Trips](https://natureslens.co.uk/photography-holiday/iberian-lynx-in-summer/) [November Iberian Lynx Photography Trip](https://natureslens.co.uk/photography-holiday/the-iberian-lynx-in-spain-during-winter/) [![Lynx Photographed At The New Location Which Is Used For The Eurasian Lynx In Spain During Spring Photography Holiday 08](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Lynx-photographed-at-the-new-location-which-is-used-for-the-Eurasian-Lynx-in-Spain-during-Spring-photography-holiday-08.jpg)](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Lynx-photographed-at-the-new-location-which-is-used-for-the-Eurasian-Lynx-in-Spain-during-Spring-photography-holiday-08.jpg) Spaces are limited to keep group sizes small & productive. - NaturesLens wildlife photography holidays are structured around photographic opportunity — every schedule decision is made around light, behaviour, & access. - Small groups of 4–8 photographers ensure unhurried positions & individual guidance. - Single occupancy accommodation is included as standard across the majority of our trips. ## Share this post - - - - [![An Atlantic Puffin Swimming On Calm Water Photographed By Robin Lowry During The Natureslens Puffins Of Iceland Photography Holiday On Grimsey Island](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/An-atlantic-puffin-swimming-on-calm-water-photographed-by-Robin-Lowry-during-the-NaturesLens-Puffins-of-Iceland-photography-holiday-on-Grimsey-Island-300x200.jpg)](https://natureslens.co.uk/2026/09/01/grimsey-island-for-puffin-photography/) ### [Why We Recommend Visiting Grímsey Island in 2027 with Robin](https://natureslens.co.uk/2026/09/01/grimsey-island-for-puffin-photography/) September 1, 2026 With our long-running residential Skomer workshops brought to a close from 2026 & Fair Isle already full for 2027, Grímsey… - [![Heipi Travel Tripod Review](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Heipi-Travel-Tripod-Review-5.jpg)](https://natureslens.co.uk/2026/08/26/heipi-travel-tripod-review-long-term-field-use/) ### [HEIPI Travel Tripod Review – Long-Term Field Use & Real-World Verdict](https://natureslens.co.uk/2026/08/26/heipi-travel-tripod-review-long-term-field-use/) August 26, 2026 After two years of extensive real-world use, we revisit the HEIPI Travel Tripod to see how it has stood up… - [![One Of The Pelicans Of Lake Kerkini Drifting On The Still Waters Of Lake Kerkini](https://natureslens.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/one-of-the-pelicans-of-lake-kerkini-drifting-on-the-still-waters-of-lake-kerkini-300x200.jpg)](https://natureslens.co.uk/2026/01/17/dalmatian-pelicans-of-lake-kerkini-2027/) ### [Dalmatian Pelicans of Lake Kerkini 2027 – New January Dates Added](https://natureslens.co.uk/2026/01/17/dalmatian-pelicans-of-lake-kerkini-2027/) January 17, 2026 The first Dalmatian Pelicans of Lake Kerkini trip for 2027 is now full.
