Our utmost concern is animal welfare understood in a comprehensive manner. We care for the animals que animals that live in our park with love and respect. We design specific plans for each species and animal under our care, and we do so based on the biological findings obtained in modern zoos and through the application of veterinary knowledge to wildlife.
- Freedom from hunger and thirst.
- Freedom from discomfort through appropriate environment.

In our facilities there are specimens from all over the world, palm trees, orchids, ficus trees, cacti… The vegetation of the park allows us to simulate the natural habitats of the animals, creating enriched and suitable spaces for each species.

Parrot Museum
This remarkable space within the park houses an extensive collection of porcelain parrots. Delicately created and reproduced down to the finest detail, the oldest preserved pieces date back to the beginning of the 18th century.
