Benidorm’s theme parks

Benidorm in Alicante province of Spain has four major theme parks. These are the Terra Mitica, Terra Natura, Aqualandia and Mundomar. Each of them has a great tourist presence and caters to the holiday-crowd in an efficient manner. There is something about Terra Natura though that swings the balance in its favor. This animal theme park is avant garde in what it offers and hence lets a tourist feel overawed with its repertoire.

Multifaceted theme park

It has a natural mountain setting blessed by the aura of Puig Campana. Though there is a waterslide running through it for some 700 meters, tourist prefers understanding it as an animal park. The handicraftsmen make great souvenirs, the foods is a sumptuous ethnic spread full of Mediterranean spices and yet, trust us, this is an animal park above all and quite brilliant at that. 1500 different animals from some 200 species; this is what we probably count as an extra-terrestrial experience.

Pangaea

Just as you enter Terra Natura, you will find a volcano looming large on you. You will be witnessing a lava river flowing adjacent to you all through the green landscape. This place is called Pangaea. (The frosty continent of the devil)

America

Next is America. This again would be a lovable section; Native American dwellers looking to cut through the different landscapes. There are Mayan ruins, great jungles and a lot of panorama. All this will take you to a different world altogether.

Asia

Asia is full of camps. It binds the magic of orient with the various traditions. East has always been a hidden place. You will witness a lot of things being practiced in secret atmosphere. This is also the magic of east. To this magic is dedicated one complete corner. The third corner of the Terra Natura. It has logging camps, huts, caverns and a very silent ambience. Sometimes, the elephants make noise to throw some voice across the eerie silence of the place. You will find the snake charmers, the souvenir sellers and a lot of species of animals from the east.

Europe

Last on the way will be Europe. They are all too well known land with some of its unknown stuff. Look for the donkey ride, sea life and amazing features of wild life. There are many species of fishes in the man-made ecosystem. It is being pleasantly added with a lot of water slides.

So we see that each land has its own native features. Asia is full of Asia and America is full of America. Terra natura has tried to bring out the best of the place by igniting the native candle.

Children simply love it

As a child, it is a very educative trip. You can also get to be proximal to animals. There are guards who see to a danger-free trip. Move on a zip wire, slide down the chutes or take the train ride, the call of a natura is one clear call and it cannot be ignored.
