Loro Parque Animal Embassy

The best modern zoo in the world

Located in Puerto de la Cruz, in the north of the island of Tenerife, Loro Parque Animal Embassy is a unique place for seeing over 400 species of animals close up and learning more about their characteristics and behaviour. With a history going back more than half a century, this modern zoo (or animal embassy) has become an authentic touchstone in the conservation and scientific study of animals, in particular in terms of how they are affected by the global environmental crisis. Moreover, Loro Parque recently became the first zoo in the world to achieve a negative carbon footprint. A global benchmark that sets out to be a sanctuary where one can contemplate apes, big cats or birds in their natural habitat, be amazed by the intelligence and skills of dolphins, orcas and sea lions, walk among fish, sharks and a wide variety of plant species and at the same time enjoy leisure activities, restaurants and children’s spaces for younger visitors.

The largest collection of parrots in the world and a huge penguinarium

Beyond its initiatives geared towards conservation and reintroduction of animals, its didactic approach and protection of the environment, Loro Parque is recognised all over the world for its impressive collection of exotic birds, including over 300 species of parrots. Among the numerous other tasks it handles through its foundation, Loro Parque takes on those of protecting and conserving endangered species, and has saved over 10 of these bird species to date. Visitors to the park can also enjoy the largest penguinarium in the world, which is home to over 250 penguins of different species. And from the ice, we move to a few metres under the sea, because Loro Parque also has an aquarium where fish and sharks swim among coral. All this work earned Loro Parque the 2008 Animal Embassy award as a sustainable, responsible park.
