Fundació Zoo del Pirineu, located in Odén, Cataluña, is a conservation-focused animal centre offering educational experiences and hands-on courses. The foundation operates a range of structured activities that include wildlife photography courses, rehabilitation training, guided visits, bird-of-prey flying exhibitions, falconry courses, owl encounters, short animal interactions, and seasonal volunteer days.
Each activity is designed for public learning and engagement under professional supervision. Photography offerings range from one-hour animal sessions to a full six-hour Curso de fotografía focusing on wildlife image-making in controlled settings. Rehabilitation and cetrería programs provide practical, expert-led instruction: the Curso de rehabilitación de fauna salvaje is a full-day hands-on course, and the Curso de cetrería runs as a shared session every fourth Sunday with private group bookings available.
Guided experiences include one-hour Visita guiada tours and specialized Exhibición de vuelo de aves rapaces that showcase the flight and behaviour of raptors. Short-format activities such as Experiencia Animal, Fotografía animal, Experiencia Búhos, and the 45-minute Toca Toca provide accessible encounters for families and enthusiasts. The foundation also hosts a Jornada de voluntariado de otoño in partnership with Almas Salvajes, focused on bird releases and river scientific study.
Fundació Zoo del Pirineu maintains transparent scheduling and clear participation requirements. It emphasizes education, welfare, and conservation, delivering experiences in a natural mountain setting. Visitors should bring meals where specified; the park supplies snacks and drinks for some programs. Booking information and specific safety guidelines are provided by the foundation for each activity. Operating season and hours are on its website.
