The Lobo Park, Antequera

If you’re looking for something different from the usual day out, this could be for you. The lobo Park is a private wolf park situated near Antequera in the heart of Andalucia. It’s about an hour’s ride from Malaga city, but it may as well be on another continent. Over 100,000 square metres have been allocated for the wolves, but viewing areas allow you to meet wolves eye to eye. The park is circled by the El Torcal mountain range, which in itself is something to see.

You’ll find four different wolf sub species: Canadian Timber, European, Alaskan Tundra and native Iberian that have been given a home.

The LOBO PARK was founded by Daniel Weigend and Alexandra Stieber (both originate from Germany) as a private initiative in 2002 (open to the public since November 2004) with the ambition to establish a wolf park that is unique in its configuration. It is the intention of the owners that all wolves as well as all the other animals live in an environment that was built to protect as much of the existing flora and fauna as well as to ensure that their living circumstances are as related to real nature as possible. The ‘mission’ was to give these fascinating animals the respect that they deserve. It is of great importance that they have huge enclosures to live a life that is almost equivalent to a ‘natural’ environment - to live their genuine pack life without interference of human intrusion or domestication. Only through this effort can one truly observe how wolves live. Respect is being given and trust is its return!

Guided tours show visitors the different wolves and let you learn more about how wolves communicate, play, hunt and eat. The path features observation platforms, where visitors can enjoy a clear view and come into close contact with the animals.

Wolves are highly social animals; a wolf pack is comparable with a family, a company or a football team. Only through this strong bond did wolves survive to this day. "Their social bonding and care-giving behaviour are second only to those of humans and other social primates ‘ (John Theberge, Wolf biologist)

The Lobo Park is just one of the visits taken in by the Andalucia Tour. - Motorbike Tours
