With the beginning of Autumn, the zeal of the deer reaches its boom, begins the Deer rutting season in Monfrague , click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Monfrague National Park<\/strong>, with an area of 18,396 hectares, is one of the most impressive National Parks in Spain, which hosts intact Mediterranean mountains and large areas of a unique ecosystem in Spain, the Dehesa.<\/p>\n\n

It is located in Extremadura, in the province of C\u00e1ceres, and near to Madrid (depending on the area of the National Park you go to).<\/p>\n\n

The private estate in Monfrage
where we carry out our Safaris is located just two hours from Madrid, in the
south-east part of the National Park.<\/p>\n

Monfrague National Park is a
fabulous place to enjoy this spectacle of nature, in which hundreds of deer
males emit strong bellows, telling their rivals what their territory is and
what is their harem of females, inciting opponents to fight with their antlers,
making it clear who is the dominant male of the Mediterranean forest.<\/p>\n

The time of the Deer Bellowing is one of the most recommended to carry out Routes in Monfrag\u00fce<\/strong>, to enjoy softer temperatures, sunsets that remind us of a safari in Africa, and a continuous movement of animals everywhere. After the summer, life begins again in the Dehesas of Extremadura.<\/p>\n\n

This happens between September and October, when the the first rains start. Until now, the deer had been hidden among the scrub, forming distinct groups of males and females, feeding as best as possible to have beautiful antlers to fight with, after losing the coating, which is \u00a0as a \u00a0velvet covering its antlers.<\/p>\n\n

It is highly recommended to make a Tour in Monfrag\u00fce<\/strong> with a good optical equipment, such as binoculars and telescopes, which will allow you to discover many details and observe much better the mammals and birds of prey in the area, although if you hire local guides, they’ll provide them to you.<\/p>\n
