Palmitos Park is a 20-hectare (49-acre) botanical garden and aviary. The park lies in a countryside setting, in the midst of mountains. Because of this park visitors have the opportunity in many places of beautiful views and vistas when walking through the park. There is a small terrace near a fountain, along a path that leads up to the amphitheater where flying birds of prey perform in shows. A striking feature of the park is the great wealth of cacti and succulents—the succulents being in excellent condition. There are over 160 different cactus types and 1000 palm trees of 42 different types. Parrot-like birds are well-represented in the park, but other types of birds are also to be found, including a variety of swans and ducks. Additionally there are monkeys, crocodiles, an orchid house, an aquarium with fish and coral displays, and Europe's largest butterfly house. There also are penguins, dolphins and komodo dragons
