Terra Natura Murcia, water and wildlife park

Terra Natura Murcia is one of the most important animal and nature parks in Spain. It is one of a new generation of wildlife parks, in which visitors can discover the concept of what is known as "Zooinmersión."

The aim of this is recreate a habitat which gives an experience of being at one with the wildlife viewed in the park, so to this end more than 500 examples of 50 species of plant have been planted in the animal habitats, spread across an area occupying more than 165,000 square metres.

As the park has now been open for many years the planting has matured to create a comfortable and interesting environment which enhances the interaction between visitors and animals.The planting not only softens the landscape, but also enables visitors to be closer to the animals and have direct human contact rather than the traditional forms of wildlife park where the animals are at a distance between visible physical barriers.
