2025-03-05

750 hectares of wildlife park await you in Northern Spain

Explore the impressive Cabárceno Park by car, on foot, or by bike – and let Spain is More help you find the perfect way to experience this extraordinary natural park.

Cabárceno is not just a zoo. It is a vast nature reserve where elephants, tigers, bears, and monkeys roam in surroundings so breathtaking that it feels like stepping into another world. The dramatic rock formations provide both shelter and scenery for over 100 animal species from across the globe.

But Cabárceno is more than just wildlife – it’s also a place with a fascinating history. The park is built on a former mining site where the Romans began extracting iron over 2,000 years ago. The rugged, weathered terrain still bears the marks of its past, giving the park a truly unique character.

Driving along the winding roads between the animal enclosures feels almost like stepping into a scene from Jurassic Park – only with today’s most spectacular wildlife in the spotlight.

Cabárceno is an unforgettable experience for all ages – and one of Cantabria’s greatest surprises!
