In this area of 20 hectares, visitors can observe wild animal species that are representatives of the Iberian and European fauna. They are accommodated in large spaces that reproduce their natural environment.

Most animals are ill or injured and have been ceded by individuals or institutions. As they are unable to survive on their own, those creatures are on display in order to work on behalf of the environmental education, in the hope of promoting the interest in preserving the environment.

Karpin Abentura offers the opportunity to make out the sense of the species evolution. The park provides a walk through the living history of the local fauna, at the same time as it approaches visitors to the principle of evolution and to the first life forms on Earth in the Darwin Jauregia, one of the park's four thematic areas.

On the other hand, those who come around Karpin Abentura will learn about the human evolution in the area known as Homo Sapiens Sapiens. They will also be able to travel to the fantastic Jurassic in the Terrasauro and to admire the big carnivorous and herbivorous that inhabited the Earth 10,000 years ago in Gastornisland.
