Bioparc Fuengirola is a new generation zoo that focuses on the conservation of endangered species and environmental education. This park recreates the animals’ natural habitats, offering visitors an immersive experience. You can walk through rainforests, explore swamps, and discover species from Asia, Africa, and Madagascar. The enclosures are designed to make the animals feel at home, and visitors can observe them in environments that mimic their natural habitats.
Where is the Bioparc Fuengirola located
Located 5 minutes walking from the center of the town in Calle Camilo José Cela. Next to the bullring, behind the Church of Nuestra Señora del Carmen and the Fuengirola town hall.
Because it’s different from an ordinary zoo
It is largely noticeable that the purpose of this park is to make the animals feel as if they were in their natural environment through decoration, fauna and flora. The objective of the Bioparc foundation is to avoid as much as possible the classic cages and in this way create a total submersion. To begin with, the park is not a traditional zoo with large areas, as can be the case with the Madrid Zoo. What is true is that they have known how to take advantage of every corner adapted to the natural habitat of each animal. This philosophy creates a pleasant visit and getting to know the animals better.
Division and decoration of the park
The zoo is divided into different zones that represent different continents: Madagascar, Equatorial Africa, Tropical Asia, Indo-Pacific, which in turn are divided into sub-zones with their corresponding decoration, such as a decoration inspired by the Ruins of the Khosmal Watt temple and the Temple of Ankor. 
Featured animals
The Bioparc houses more than 200 animals but the most prominent are the Komodo Dragon, Sumatran Tiger, Pygmy Hippopotamus, Nile Crocodile, Giant Tortoise, Gorilla, and Borneo Orangutan. Bioparc has a breeding project for endangered species such as the pygmy hippopotamus, the coastal gorilla, and the Borneo orangutan.
Throughout the day you can visit the Baobab tree, where you can enter a natural enclosure dedicated to the lemurs of Madagascar, the lemurs roam loose in the enclosure, so do not be scared or surprised that a lemur jumps on you.
