As the name suggests, Cactualdea Park is a sort of botanical garden focusing on the display of hundreds of species of cacti, more precisely, 1,200 of them. Several palm trees and dragon trees peg out the garden strategically, but visitors should rest assured: there is much more to Cactualdea Park than meets the eye. Thus, the Guanche cave is one definite highlight of the park. Furthermore, the tempting restaurant located in the park, as well as the large cellar might complement the visits of those who want to indulge in gastronomic and oenological samplings. On top of that, the park attains its peak of popularity during the so-called Lucha Canaria, which is hosted by the generous amphitheater of the park.
For a spectacular array of species of reptiles, arachnids, birds and mammals alike, tourists should visit Reptilandia Park, a venue located in Galdar.
Tourists who want to get around and keep fit at the same time should opt for cycling in Gran Canaria. There are plenty of cycling centers on the island.
Banana Park is located in Maspalomas, and it stands out as a huge banana plantation pegged out by several hundreds of specimens of orange trees.
