Description

The park's 1,900 acres of land are located in a reclaimed former iron mine which is now a beautiful example of the area's impressive dramatic karst landscape. As a centre for environmental education as well as conservation, the park is home to over one hundred different species of animals from five continents, including gorillas, tigers, bears, elephants and birds of prey.
Enjoy a minibus tour of the main areas of Cabarceno, delving deep into the natural scenery and discovering the incredible animals that you pass by. A truly unforgettable experience for children and adults!
