The Cabarceno Natural Park is not a conventional zoo or a natural park. It is a space naturalized by the hand of man, based on the primitive beauty of its karst landscape, on the 750 ha of an old open-pit mining operation.
In the park, life develops in the most natural environment possible for the animals that inhabit it. Except for the food that is provided to them, the rest of the activities are marked by their almost total freedom and instinct. Practically all of them trigger fights and fights in mating season for the control of the females and of course, except for the survival instinct, the rest of their senses are as wild as in their natural habitat.
At present, due to their enormous quality, the facilities of the Cabarceno Natural Park are among the best valued by the organizations that monitor the living conditions of the animals.
The Cabarceno Natural Park is conceived for educational, cultural, scientific and recreational purposes, having become one of the major tourist attractions in northern Spain.
The more than 20 km of roads that cross the park will lead us to the different enclosures through wonderful gorges, peaceful lakes and suggestive rocky figures. In addition, throughout the park there are numerous parking areas and paths that allow us to discover corners of great beauty.
