A new generation zoo and an international benchmark.

Bioparc represents a special and different leisure, whose main objective is to make everyone aware of the need to conserve the environment. For that reason it is different, it provokes sensations and emotions in visitors when they can contemplate the animals without any visual barrier, in a recreation of their natural environment.

A faithful representation of the Tropical Forest

The recreation of the habitats of Africa, Asia and Madagascar was done through lemmatization; slopes, waterfalls, rocks, trunks and even real-looking trees were created. The creation of the baobab tree: one of the largest artificial trees in the world, at 25 m high, was a great challenge for the park's designers. Today it has become an icon of the park and of the city of Fuengirola.

This exhaustive recreation of habitats is complemented by messages about the need for their conservation.

emblematic species.

From its conception, Bioparc was designed to house species whose reproduction was essential, and thus a selective collection plan was established under which enclosures specially designed for it were built. In total, today 130 different species and more than 1,400 individuals live together in the zoo.

Bioparc has such emblematic species as the Sumatran Tiger, included in the Red List of Threatened Species of the IUCN (Union for the Conservation of Nature) with the highest category of "Critically Endangered".

Likewise, the park has exclusive species of great biological importance such as the Malayan False Gavial, which has been reproduced for the first time in captivity, as well as Coastal Gorillas, the only ones in Andalusia, or Pygmy Hippopotamuses, Leopards of Sri – Lanka, Borneo Orangutans or Malayan Tapirs, among many others.
