Tour packages in Cabárceno Natural Park

Cabárceno Nature Park is not a conventional zoo, but a park that is home to some 120 animal species living in semi-freedom. The animals live in large enclosures, with one or more species coexisting in large areas. The environment in which the animals live is as natural as possible, and they spend most of the day in almost complete freedom.

Cabárceno Natural Park covers approximately 750 hectares. There are over 20 km of roads to explore within the park , winding through lakes, gorges, and woodlands.

Cabárceno Natural Park is located in the Pisueña Valley, just 15 km from Santander, making it easy to find accommodation near Cabárceno . Until November 1st, the park is open daily from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm. From November 2nd to February 28th, it is open during those hours only on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and long weekends (from Monday to Friday it is open from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm).
