  • Palmitos Park sits in the Los Palmitos ravine in southern Gran Canaria — a subtropical botanical garden and wildlife park that genuinely earns the word paradise, with hundreds of native and exotic species sharing the same space.

  • The Orchid House holds the largest orchid collection in the entire Canary Islands — thousands of specimens in a dedicated glasshouse, from the delicate to the outright surreal.

  • The aviary puts you inside a free-flight environment with some of the most colourful birds on the planet; the lake below it is home to the Spectacled Caiman and the Canary Island Lizard — an endemic species found nowhere else on Earth.

  • The Dolphin Encounter lets you get into the water with the park's dolphin ambassadors — not included in entry, but bookable on-site once you're inside.

Main Entrance

The Main Entrance is situated at the end of the Barranco de Los Palmitos access road, right next to the on-site parking area and the Palmitos Park bus stop. This is the only public entrance for all ticket holders, groups, and shuttle arrivals. The entry path from parking and bus drop-off is level and step-free, suitable for wheelchairs and strollers. Once inside, be aware that the park’s internal paths are hilly and can be steep in places, so visitors with limited mobility should plan accordingly. All ticket validation and security checks take place here, with online ticket holders able to skip the ticket purchase line and proceed directly to scanning at the turnstiles.
