The park is located at an altitude of approximately 770 meters above sea level.
It is home to the Andean Condor, one of the largest flying birds in the world by wingspan.
The park participates in international conservation breeding programs for endangered raptors.
The birds are handled by expert falconers who explain natural hunting behaviors during demonstrations.
The site was specifically chosen for its natural thermal currents, which facilitate the flight displays.
Many of the resident birds were born in captivity or were rescued from injuries that prevented their return to the wild.
Jardín de las Águilas is a hilltop conservation park situated at the summit of Monte Calamorro, specializing in the display and protection of birds of prey. It hosts over 160 birds representing approximately 60 different species, including eagles, falcons, owls, and vultures. The site is primarily accessed via the Benalmádena Cable Car from the base of the mountain. Educational flight demonstrations are conducted where raptors interact with the surrounding natural mountain terrain. The park operates as a specialized sanctuary with a focus on environmental education and species conservation. Visitors can view birds in individual aviaries dispersed throughout the summit landscape. Because of its 800-meter elevation, the location offers panoramic views of the Costa del Sol. It is distinct for its focus on the biological and behavioral characteristics of predatory birds rather than traditional amusement rides.

Bring binoculars for closer inspection of the birds in their larger aviaries.
Carry plenty of water as the mountain summit lacks natural shade and the sun exposure is intense.
Apply high-SPF sunscreen, as the elevation significantly increases UV radiation intensity.
Do not attempt to feed the birds, as they follow strict dietary protocols managed by professional falconers.
Operations are highly weather-dependent; the park may close if wind speeds at the summit are too high for safe bird flight.
Maintain silence during flight demonstrations to avoid startling the birds; do not attempt to touch the animals.
