What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Lacuniacha for its unique concept of animals in semi-freedom and the magical experience of walking amongst them. The snowy landscapes are particularly enchanting. However, some find the trails challenging, animal visibility inconsistent, and the cost high, especially when animals are resting.
"Such a unique experience to walk the trails and see the animals roaming freely. Some of the animals are literally walking along the path with you, which feels so magical.
The park itself is well-maintained, and the trails are easy to follow, though be sure to wear hiking shoes since some parts are a bit steep. We brought along our 17-month-old, who was in a baby backpack seat the whole time, and it was a perfect way to explore the park. It took us about 2 hours to enjoy everything at a leisurely pace.
One thing to keep in mind: while the animals are free to roam, please be respectful. We did notice a few visitors trying to startle the animals for a reaction, which is really unnecessary. These animals deserve to enjoy their space without being disturbed, so let’s be mindful of that.
The park also has a lovely seating area, so bring your own lunch and water to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Overall, this is a must-visit for anyone who loves animals and nature. Highly recommend."

"First off, if you are in a Autocaravana, use the parking just before the park. It’s easier and more accessible. Secondly try not to go in August when the Spanish have their holidays, the families make a huge amount of noise, which is not conducive to have the animals out and about. Bear in mind it’s not an easy walk and that children tire easily. We saw so many irritable, tired, bored children who were not interested in the majority of the animals. The park itself could do with better indicators as to the one way route, whilst the animals looked well cared for, relaxed and happy. Lots of shade. Good photo opportunities. They recommend one hour thirty minutes to get around, relax take your time, we spent 4 hours taking it all in. The Bar, immediately after the Lynx is a welcome break. Value for money "

"Cute animals
And some moderate hikes needed
We did not get to see the eagles and Amphibian in December.
Buy ticket online 24 hr before you come, will save you some money."
