The Iberian Wolf Recovery Centre (IWRC) is a sanctuary for Iberian wolves that are unable to survive in the wild. It was started in 1987 with the objective of providing a suitable environment and safe haven for wolves. While providing its resident wolves with the best available care, the IWRC aims to create awareness of the wolf in its natural state as well as in captivity.
The IWRC is open to the public for guided visits on Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays.
All visits are subject to booking.
Visits are made on foot through the public portion of the sanctuary and take about 60 minutes.
Visiting hours:
Winter (October to April) visits at 3:00pm and 4:30pm
Summer (May to September) visits at 4:00pm and 6:00pm
Visits are held in Portuguese. Bilingual visits are possible but are subject to booking and occur at 4:30pm in the winter and 6:00pm in the summer.
The enclosures where the wolves inhabit are large and densely vegetated and therefore it is not guaranteed the observation of the residing wolves during the visits.
