From here, there are many possible routes to explore the surroundings, including the <strong>Escua\u00edn Gorge<\/strong> formed by the Yaga River. In the same village, you can take the route of the viewpoints. One of the buildings houses an information center where you can consult trail options and watch live footage of birds of prey such as the <strong>Bearded Vulture<\/strong> (Gypaetus barbatus) through a webcam.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"trail-to-reach-the-birds-of-prey-observatory\">Trail to reach the birds of prey observatory<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>From the parking area in Escua\u00edn, we follow a forest track (closed to cars) in a steady ascent for three kilometers through pine forests and meadows. Near km 3.5, we take a detour towards the <strong>Birds of Prey Observatory-Puente de los Mallos<\/strong>. We continue ascending on a trail for another 1.5 km until we reach the La Valle meadow, where we find the entrance to the observatory.<\/p>\n<p>It is recommended to follow the instructions to avoid disturbing the birds, although they will generally be at a safe distance. The route can continue towards the Puente de los Mallos and the village of Revilla, but on this occasion, we focus on observing the birds and returning along the same path.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"birds-of-prey-observatory-to-see-the-bearded-vulture\">Birds of Prey Observatory to see the Bearded Vulture<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The observatory is a wooden structure with openings facing southeast. Here, there is a sloping meadow where animals graze and where the <strong>Bearded Vultures<\/strong> usually perch and take flight. Inside, there are informational panels about the different species of birds of prey present in the area.<br \/>\nThe Bearded Vulture is the main attraction, with around six hundred individuals in the peninsula. From the observatory, it is common to see adults and juveniles flying. Some of them have wing tags for individual identification. Visitors can contribute by sending sighting data. It is recommended to take some time to calmly observe the flight and interactions of the birds.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"route-map-to-see-the-bearded-vulture\">Route Map to see the Bearded Vulture<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/es.wikiloc.com\/wikiloc\/spatialArtifacts.do?event=view&amp;id=20379275&amp;measures=off&amp;title=off&amp;near=off&amp;images=off&amp;maptype=H\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"display-posts-listing image-top\"><div class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/birdwatching-routes\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/birdwatching-routes-in-ordesa-and-monte-perdido-1024x530.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Birdwatching Routes in Ordesa and Monte Perdido\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/birdwatching-routes-in-ordesa-and-monte-perdido-1024x530.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/birdwatching-routes-in-ordesa-and-monte-perdido-336x174.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/birdwatching-routes-in-ordesa-and-monte-perdido-768x397.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/birdwatching-routes-in-ordesa-and-monte-perdido.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a> <h3><span id=\"birdwatching\"><a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/birdwatching-routes\/\">Birdwatching<\/a><\/span><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/observation-and-bird-photography-hides\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/birdwatching-observation-points-map-1024x617.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Birdwatching observation points\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/birdwatching-observation-points-map-1024x617.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/birdwatching-observation-points-map-336x202.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/birdwatching-observation-points-map-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/birdwatching-observation-points-map-1536x925.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/birdwatching-observation-points-map.jpg 1760w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a> <h3><span id=\"observation-and-bird-photography-hides\"><a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ordesamonteperdido.com\/en\/observation-and-bird-photography-hides\/\">Observation and Bird Photography Hides<\/a><\/span><\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Access to the Escua\u00edn Valley to start the Bearded Vulture route From A\u00ednsa, head north towards Escalona and then towards Escua\u00edn and A\u00f1isclo.
