Zoco Negro in the town of Arinaga.
Zoco Negro in the town of Arinaga.
No es el Gran Canyon, son los Canarias! You should be very surprised by the amazing view of the road between the Guayadeque caves and the city of Alguïmes. You should find 2 km above troglodytes houses directly from the mountains.
Crocodilo Park is a kind of zoo working for animal protection. First family Balser took care of few crocodiles. Then police of environmental protection SEPRONA (Servicio de Protección de la Naturaleza de la Guardia Civil) have placed many other animals to their care. Some are under bad condition cause of neglegtion or even abuse. Nowadays there are many rescued animals for examble parrots, lizards, birds, monkeys, deers and many more.

The entrance fee is surprisingly low and the income goes to keep up the park and the animals.

We spent enjoyable half a day in the park. We saw crocodile show and two one day old crocodiles. Also we were able to touch one baby crocodile, it´s tummy was so soft. Please visit the park if you are in Gran Canaria.

 Crocodilo Park situates near airport of Gran Canaria. Drive south the highway GC-1 about 14 km, turn right to GC-100 (Cruse de Arinaga)and then road GC-104. There is signs to guide. Park offers free transportation  from nearby holiday resort Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles too. #TroveOnTuesday

SERPONA brings maltreated animals impressed from cargo ships. Theres even pets who have grown oversized and owners cant´t or won´t take care of them anymore. This was the case with Bengal tigers.

The entrance fee is surprisingly low and the income goes to keep up the park and the animals.

We spent enjoyable half a day in the park. Loved the giant tortoise who wandered there free. The best part was to feed the four chimpanzee (Judith, Alicia, Koka and África). You can buy bananas from the park restaurant and we did over and over again. Learnt that when the chimp gets a hold of banana you don´t get it back. Their grip is so strong. Please visit the park if you are in Gran Canaria.

Great design of the hotel. Very convenient location. Our room was on the ground floor and was a bit noisy when trying to sleep. Good breakfast options. Many pools to choose from but people put out towels early.
