Very good, the guide's explanations were adequate. Perhaps the tour should last a little longer to see the park and all its animals better.

Tour Details

After being picked up from your hotel in Santander, you'll head to the south of the city to the Cabarceno Nature Park. After around a 30-minute journey, you'll arrive at this unique space where animals live in semi-free conditions.

The park's 1,900 acres of land are located in a reclaimed former iron mine, which is now a beautiful example of the area's impressive, dramatic karst landscape. As a centre for environmental education as well as conservation, the park is home to over one hundred different species of animals from five continents, including gorillas, tigers, bears, elephants and birds of prey.

Enjoy a minibus tour of the main areas of Cabarceno, delving deep into the natural scenery and discovering the incredible animals that you pass by. A truly unforgettable experience for children and adults!

You can also see a birds of prey show, and take a ride in the park's cable car, from where you'll get some spectacular views from up high over Cabarceno Park.

Once you've visited the park, we'll return to Santander. We'll arrive at your hotel 5 hours after pickup.

Hotel Pickup

If you're staying in the centre of Santander, you must indicate the name and address of your hotel when you book and we'll pick you up. If your hotel is outside Santander, you'll need to make your own way to the meeting point.
