Jungle Park in Arona

Jungle Park is a zoological and botanical park in the south of Tenerife, in the municipality of Arona, spread across roughly 75,000 m² of dense, jungle-like vegetation that is home to more than 500 animals. Visitors explore the grounds via hanging bridges, narrow paths and tunnels that wind between caves and lagoons.

What is Jungle Park?

It's a combined botanical garden and zoo, laid out to evoke a tropical jungle rather than a conventional zoo setting. Thick vegetation covers the entire 75,000 m² site, creating surroundings where animals are viewed in an environment that echoes their natural habitat instead of standard enclosures or cages.

What animals live there?

More than 500 animals of many different species live within the park. Because their habitats are spread across such a large, densely planted area, seeing them feels closer to walking through a natural landscape than touring a typical zoo.

What does the visitor route look like?

Jungle Park's defining feature is its network of hanging bridges, paths and tunnels that make up the visitor route. Guests cross over and pass between numerous caves and lagoons scattered through the grounds, adding a sense of adventure to the visit and offering different vantage points for watching the animals — from above, from the side, or up close by the water.

Where is the park located?

Jungle Park sits in the south of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, within the municipality of Arona — one of the island's most visited areas, known for its warm year-round climate. Its proximity to other attractions in the south of Tenerife means it's often included as a stop on a day-trip itinerary.

Who is it for?

The combination of lush vegetation, a large number of animals and an unusual, varied walking route makes Jungle Park appealing to families with children as well as adults looking for a nature-focused outing that stands in contrast to the dry, volcanic landscape typical of most of southern Tenerife.
