Loro ParqueLoro Parque is Tenerife's most popular wildlife centre and receives more than 1.3 million visitors each year. Situated at outskirts of the northern resort of Puerto da la Cruz it is home to the largest parrot collection in the world and the biggest dolphinarium in Europe.If parrots are not your thing, you'll also find gorillas, jaguars and some huge tigers. The latest addition to the park, opened in the summer of 1999 is the penguin island. Throughout the day visitors are entertained with parrot, dolphin and sea lion shows, which at peak times can become very crowded. So, arrive early to get the best pool side seats. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the park is the aquarium which houses over 20,000 marine animals including some enormous sharks which are viewed through a sub-aquatic Plexiglas tunnel. The park has a large number of pizzeria, restaurants and shops and is open every day of the year. Loro Parque is open daily from 08:30 to 17:00, and for those on holiday in Puerto de la Cruz a free "road train" operates every 20 minutes from the Playa Martinez in the centre of the resort.
