A Unique Private Birds of Prey Experience
If you’re looking for a new experience or something a little different during your stay, a visit to Cortijo Búho is an unforgettable choice. Set inside a beautiful 11th‑century cave house, this educational centre offers a rare, hands‑on opportunity to spend time with owls, kookaburras, meerkats, and many other friendly animals.
Cortijo Búho is run by Matilda, a highly experienced falconer with a deep passion for birds of prey. She doesn’t offer public shows and the centre is not open to the general public, but you can book a private appointment for a calm, personal, and immersive experience. During your visit, you’ll learn about different species, handle the birds, watch them fly, and even feed them — all under Matilda’s expert guidance.

Guests often describe their time at Cortijo Búho as unforgettable, praising the warm welcome, the incredible birds, and the chance to meet other animals such as meerkats, chickens, turkeys, and ducks. It’s a magical experience for families, nature lovers, and anyone wanting to try something truly special in the Altiplano de Granada.
