Discovering the Wonders of MónNatura Delta de l’Ebre

Our family adventure to the MónNatura Delta de l’Ebre was a delightful blend of education and exploration, perfectly suited for curious minds of all ages. Nestled in the Tancada lagoon near Amposta, this wildlife park offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural beauty and rich biodiversity of one of Western Europe’s most important wetlands.

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the staff, who made us feel right at home. Alba, our guide for the day, provided an engaging introduction to the interpretation center. Her passion for the area was infectious, and she expertly explained the significance of the wetlands and the conservation efforts in place. The center itself is a treasure trove of information, with interactive exhibits that captivated my children and sparked their interest in the environment.

A Journey Through Nature and History

The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the exploration of the wetlands. Armed with telescopes, we ventured into the partially enclosed bird observatory, where we were treated to breathtaking views of flamingos, herons, and other water birds. Victor, another knowledgeable guide, was on hand to answer our questions and share fascinating insights into the behavior and habitats of these magnificent creatures.

The experience was both educational and awe-inspiring, as we learned about the traditional fishing methods used in the Delta and the delicate balance of the ecosystem. The kids were particularly thrilled to see the full-scale recreation of the Delta’s salt pans, where they could touch and feel the salt crystals, bringing history to life in a tangible way.
