Aguimes travel guide

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
