The Iberian Lynx

This incredibly special animal that inspired our name and brand identity can be found right here, in the Algarve, where it's called LINCE. It's a smart, independent, and very agile cat. Unfortunately, it's also the most endangered feline species in the world.

As an independent and locally owned business, we believe we have the power and responsibility to bring positive change to our communities and the environment. Join us and ANP-WWF in our quest to help protect the Iberian Lynx!
