What to expect when visiting Terra Natura Benidorm
Terra Natura Benidorm is a modern next-generation zoo created according to the concept of a “zoo without visible barriers”. Instead of traditional cages, natural barriers are used — water, terrain, plants and glass partitions — allowing visitors to observe the animals from a very close distance.
The park covers an area of about 32 hectares and is home to more than 1,500 animals of different species from around the world.
The territory is divided into themed zones, each representing a specific region of the planet.
- America — here you can see jaguars, tapirs and other animals of the New World.
- Asia — an area with tigers, elephants and exotic birds.
- Europe — animals and ecosystems of the European continent.
Walking through the park, visitors feel as if they are going on a small trip around the world, discovering different corners of wildlife.
History of Terra Natura Zoo
