| LORO PARQUE LOCAL HISTORY |
|
Located at the foot of the towering and majestic Teide volcano is Loro Parque, where the visitor can see some of the most exotic species of animal and marine life of the world. Kept in exactly replicated natural environments, here are gorillas, chimpanzees, jaguars, tigers, flamingos, parrots, and representatives of the water world, such as sea lions, sharks, and dolphins, to name just a few.
Loro Parque functions under two directives, one, to keep up the numbers of endangered or threatened species, and in so doing provide a ‘genetic reserve’, and secondly to encourage the understanding and appreciation of nature and its creatures.

Give your children an experience they will never forget and take them to a show where the dolphins leap from the water and perform agile and graceful exercises in the air.

Chimpland – The perfectly reproduced habitat for these happy chappies was originally built to protect a group of chimpanzees that were being abused by street photographers, and were confiscated and brought to Loro Parque. Rescued and treated well, the chimps have reproduced and established a family group.
