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.
