Loro Park

Loro Park (also known as ‘Loroparque’ in Spanish) is a man-made paradise featuring parrots, killer whales, sea lions, dolphins, penguins, gorillas, chimpanzees, jaguars, tigers, alligators, sharks and many other animals: You will need a full day to enjoy the entire park.

The permanent mild climate in Tenerife allows to easily host these tropical animals.
Located in Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife North), Loro Park is home to the world’s largest collection of parrots, an aquarium with a shark tunnel, a planet of penguins, and shows of dolphins, sea lions and parrots which makes it the popular holiday attraction in Tenerife.

In our favorite list of ‘musts’ in Tenerife, Loro Park would be our favorite man-made attraction, and it would be in 2nd position in the overall, after ‘Las Cañadas del Teide‘ national park.

Loro Park is opened the whole year.
