It is a nature park unique in Europe where animals of the five continents coexist in semiwild conditions.The park is divided into several zones, each of which features a variety of different animals. The first remarkable area which you will encounter is the lagoon which is populated by exotic birds, including some colorful flamingos. Nearby are habitats suitable for birds and monkeys. One of the park's most striking man-made features is the bird canyon, a massive enclosed area of hills and plants, within which numerous different species of birds live freely. You will learn about species like Eagle Owl, the Steppe Eagle and the Condor. Get a close-up look at the biggest mammals: elephants, giraffes, Bengal tigers, lions, bison and zebras... And take part in exciting adventure: slide on a flying fox over a huge Africa lake, rede adromedary, follow the overhead walkway route, test your skill at archery or have fun on the 'Aguada' (a new attraction for 2006) A great part of the circuit is made in all-terrain trucks, although there is lots to see on foot, so I recommend you to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Also there is limited shade so summer visitors should remember to bring along a hat and sun cream. The Park has restaurants, shops, parking and much more services and facilities.
