Teneriffa Zoo Monkey Park
In 1991, the animal park for monkeys was established in the popular holiday resort of Los Christianos.

The animals live in a species-appropriate environment with the best possible living conditions and can be fed with fresh fruits and vegetables. This is great fun for the whole family. While walking over the park's bridge, you can observe the crocodiles living in a basin.
