The park is situated within the Pyrenean Botanical Park, featuring natural flora indigenous to the high-altitude ecosystem.
It serves as a rescue and recovery center for injured wildlife that cannot be returned to the wild.
The park's terrain is characterized by limestone rock formations and typical Pyrenean forest vegetation like pine and beech trees.
Lacuniacha is actively involved in the European Endangered Species Program (EEP) for the protection of threatened animals.
The park's elevation change requires visitors to traverse a significant incline, making it a physical hiking experience as much as a wildlife tour.
The enclosures are large enough to house multiple species that naturally share space in the Pyrenean ecosystem.
Lacuniacha is a 30-hectare wildlife park situated in the Tena Valley of the Spanish Pyrenees, operating as a biological park rather than a traditional zoo. The facility features a 4.5-kilometer walking route through forest and mountain terrain, reaching elevations between 1,380 and 1,580 meters. It houses animals native to the Pyrenees, including European bison, Przewalski horses, lynx, brown bears, and gray wolves. The enclosures are designed to mimic the natural mountainous habitat, allowing animals significant space to roam. Visitors traverse the park on foot, following a marked trail that navigates the rugged slope. The park focuses on environmental education, conservation, and the reintroduction of species to their natural mountainous environments. Its infrastructure integrates into the natural limestone landscape of the Piedrafita de Jaca area.

Wear sturdy, broken-in hiking boots, as the trails are unpaved, steep, and rocky.
Bring binoculars to spot animals hiding in the expansive, naturalistic enclosures.
Carry a windbreaker or layers, as the high-altitude mountain weather changes rapidly.
Attempting the trail in flip-flops or open-toed sandals; expecting a flat, paved zoo experience.
Open daily throughout the year, but may have closures during extreme winter weather conditions due to snow and accessibility.
Maintain silence near enclosures to avoid startling the animals; do not attempt to feed or touch the wildlife.
