The park utilizes invisible barriers to separate visitors and animals, such as moats or glass, to create a sense of direct immersion.
The park includes an exhibit zone called 'Pangea' that features venomous, poisonous, and venomous creatures specifically.
The complex hosts a dedicated 'Education Department' that manages school workshops and conservation-focused research projects.
The design team modeled the habitats after specific geographic locations, such as the Asian jungle or the American tropical forest.
The site integrates a water park that uses approximately 40,000 cubic meters of water, which is filtered and recycled through a closed-circuit system.
Terra Natura is a 320,000-square-meter zoo park located in Benidorm, designed around the concept of 'zoo-immersion'. The park is divided into four themed zones: Pangea, America, Asia, and Europe. It houses over 1,500 animals representing 200 different species, including 50 that are considered endangered or threatened. The layout utilizes invisible barriers to allow visitors to view animals in recreated natural habitats. An integrated water park, Aqua Natura, operates within the same complex and shares entrance access points. The facility focuses on conservation, research, and environmental education programs. The park architecture is designed to replicate specific geographic regions to enhance the educational experience. It is situated on the outskirts of Benidorm, offering views of the surrounding mountainous terrain.
The elevated viewing bridge in the Asia zone provides a panoramic vista of the elephant habitat and the distant Benidorm skyline.
Bring a backpack with water bottles and snacks to navigate the large, hilly walking paths comfortably.
Apply sunscreen and wear a hat, as much of the park consists of open-air exhibits with limited natural shade.
Visit the feeding demonstrations listed on the park map to ensure you see the animals when they are most active.
Do not attempt to see every animal exhibit in a single rushed loop; prioritize specific zones to avoid fatigue on the steep terrain.
Aqua Natura, the water park component, is typically closed during the winter months, while the zoo portion remains open year-round.
Do not feed the animals, do not use flash photography near enclosures, and stay on designated walking paths.
