How to get to Cabárceno Park

Cabárceno Nature Park is located in the Pisueña valley, just 15 minutes from Santander. It’s a natural environment recovered after centuries of exploitation for iron ore extraction.

In a vast area dedicated to nature, Cabárceno Park stands out as a conservation center for species from 5 continents, featuring a large number of animals living in spacious environments for their well-being.

The Park, with its great geological richness thanks to its karstic formations, the vast natural environment it comprises, with over 5,000 trees of a wide variety of species, and the increasing biodiversity developing within it, is a unique space to enjoy and learn to love and respect nature, for both adults and the youngest members of the family.
