Located 25 km from the Maspalomas resort, you can visit the Crocodile Park, which is home not only to the toothy predators but also pythons, parrots, monkeys, Siberian tigers, and other animals. The park hosts various shows, and you have the opportunity to personally feed raw meat to the resident caimans and alligators. Additionally, Cocodrilo Park is notable for its picturesque landscapes and impressive variety of vegetation.

Jungle Park
I want to tell you about an unusual park on Tenerife. For some reason, we ignored Jungle Park for several years, but it turned out to be awesome. In the park, there are shows featuring birds and animals every hour. The eagle show impresses everyone! They flew just inches from my head. Apart from the theatrical performances, you can also hand-feed rare birds and swim with sea lions here.
