The park is divided in different parts and each of them has a theme. They are Mediterrania, Far West, México, China, Polynesia and Sésamo Aventura.

MEDITERRANIA:

It is the main entrance area of the park. It reproduces a typical coastal town in Catalonia featuring a big lake in which people can enjoy shows at some points of the day.

Seripiente Emplumada: if you don’t get dizzy easily you should try this attraction. It is a spinning ride.

Some rides:
