Looking To Have Whale Of A Time?
The brand new "Orcario" is to open at the Loro Parque in Puerto de La Cruz on February 17th, with a giant 120 meter pool to house the four killer whales recently brought to the park from SeaWorld in the United States.
It is the biggest whale installation in Europe and will position the park amongst the most important in the world.
The whales' carers and instructors have been working with a group of whales at SeaWorld in San Antonio, Texas for the last two years. Work on the "Orcario" began in June 2004, next to the current dolphinarium, and also includes a amphitheatre for the public, covered with a giant curved awning.
An even bigger splash for top Tenerife tourist park
