El territorio del parque está sujeto a un plan de manejo en el que se identifican diferentes áreas de protección, donde se condicionan las actividades o el acceso, en función de la importancia y sensibilidad de los valores naturales existentes:
Natural Environment Area, where human presence is reduced and ecosystems remain little altered by man. The protection regime in this area can be:
- Total protection area
- Type I partial protection area
- Type II partial protection area
Rural Environment Area, where most human activities occur, with two levels of protection:
- Zona de protección suplementaria tipo I
- Type II complementary protection area
