Loro Parque  -  Tenerife

 
Located in the Puerto de la Cruz, it houses the world's biggest parrot exhibition, an aquarium that includes a tunnel from which you can see sharks, the Planet Penguin, dolphins, parrots and sea lions shows, which make this the most popular tourist attraction of the Canary Islands. Since it was opened in 1972, Loro Parque has been visited by more than 28 million visitors and it is open the whole year.The most modern aquarium in the world, with more than 20,000 salt and fresh water species, leads you to the exciting underwater world. Visitors may closely watch a wide range of species that inhabit the Amazon, shudder watching the piranhas and watch the colourful neon fishes. The walk along the 18 metre long shark tunnel is the highpoint of the visit, where sharks of 7 different species swim overhead so near that you could almost touch them.Another excellent area is the dolphin pool, where this clever mammals from the Mexico Gulf will not only amaze you with their acrobatics but with their sympathy as well. This dolphin pool comprises three swimming pools, one for shows, one for resting and the other one for quarantine, all of them supplied with salt water directly from the sea.Planet Penguin is the world's biggest penguin enclosure. Imagine yourself in an Antarctic ecosystem. Thanks to the big glass panels surrounding this gigantic area you will see three different penguin species, including the king penguin. These penguins and other Antarctic sea birds are living in a replica of an Antarctic island. There are some screens which show how all this species live.
