Loro Parque

The Loro Parque is an attraction in Tenerife that you cannot miss if you come to the island! The Loro Parque is located in Puerto de la Cruz, in North Tenerife. The Parque (which means "park" in spanish) opened in 1972 with 150 parrots. Since then, the Parque has grown exponentially and now there are over 3000 parrots representing over 300 species. The Loro Parque however is a lot more that only Loros (which means "Parrots" in spanish). In fact it offers many other attractions as well.
