Núcleo Zoológico el Bosque, Wildlife sanctuary in San Esteban de las Cruces, Spain
The Núcleo Zoológico el Bosque is a wildlife facility located within a wooded area that houses animals from many parts of the world. A marked walking path guides visitors through the grounds, with information boards positioned along the way and seating areas for rest.
The facility was established in the 2000s and has grown to become a popular destination for school groups and families. Over time, improvements have been made to better serve both the animals and visitors.
The center serves as a place where visitors learn about protecting animals and their habitats through hands-on observation of the animals on display. You can see how the staff interacts with the animals daily and understand the importance of caring for wildlife.
The walking circuit is straightforward to navigate and typically takes one to two hours depending on how long you spend observing the animals. Bring water and sun protection when visiting, especially in warm weather, and use the picnic areas to enjoy your time there.
The center has a particular focus on rescuing animals that have been freed from harmful situations and providing them with a new home in natural surroundings. This mission of giving second chances sets it apart from typical animal facilities.
