Information about Terra Natura in Alicante

The 'Dreamed Trip' is in Alicante, the sensation of being in another continent without moving from Alicante. The purpose of the park is to be in contact with wild animals without entering in a zoo. The Thematic Park Terra Nature is a bet without precedents. In Benidorm, the tourist capital of the Mediterranean, a pioneer leisure complex has become the first Thematic Park of this nature in Europe. The park has a surface of 32 hectares and has cost 54 million Euros to make.

Terra Nature has a modern design allowing to know different ecosystems, civilizations and cultures of the world without leaving Alicante. The Park is divided into continents preceded by an entrance area inspired by the origin of the Earth: Pangea. Each thematic area faithfuly represents the streets, towns, customs and its residents' culture giving Terra Nature great didactic value. These representations constitute the natural scenario of the shows that are played to delight the visitors. In Terra Nature everything is part of the show where everybody are able to participate. During the stay visitors can also find shows where animals participate. They are demonstrations of what they usually do in their natural enviroment. The park has many restaurants too as well as thematic stores where you can buy mementos and souvenirs of Terra Natura.

The visitor will be able to see exact reproductions of the original environment with more than 1.500 animals of 200 different species that cohabit in the park, 50 of them in extinction danger. Hiding any barrier type among animals and visitors, the direct contact between both will be one of the main atractions. The technical team has 62 professionals among them we find veterinarians, caretakers, trainers and biologists who only aim is to look after the health of animals and you. This is without any doubt a place worth to visit in Alicante.

Just behind the park entrance, visitors will find fantastic aesthetics dominated by reddish tones and browns, a great volcano escorted by enormous metallic insects and giant plants that dominated the world in the begining of times.

From there, the first destination of the trip is Europe. You arrive to the European continent through Kalicameni, an imaginary Greek town (inspired by Santorini) built on the hillside of a mountain, with areas at different levels and with a great view to the Mediterranean.

Namastepur, a town inspired by the region of Rajastan is in the thematic area of Asia, with an orgy of scents and colors that will impregnate he whole space. Merchants, snakes charmers, tigers and fakirs transmit the spirituality that is breathed in that continent, and this will turn into a camp of lumberman with elephants and mamuts. From this camp begins two paths that will take us to the scenarios of the southern Asia, with forests, mammals and reptiles. It is in this area where the traveler will contact with mongoose, the Royal Cobra, crocodiles, rhinoceroses and tigers among other species.

The water and the earth are for Europe and Asia what is the air for America, the third continent that Terra Nature shows us just this. There we find Copaltenango, inspired in La Antigua (Guatemala) and Granada (Nicaragua), with animations of the Mayan civilization. A spectacular temple in ruins invaded by the forest waits for us as well as toucans, scarlet ibis, rosy spatulas, ocelot, macaws and the great jaguar.
