| Palmitos Park is a large, 200,000 m² botanical garden and aviary on the island of Gran Canaria, one of the Canary islands, which are a part of Spain. The subtropical park is situated in the south of the island, approx. 10 km north of the tourist beaches and dunes of Maspalomas, but towards the interior. A striking feature of the park is the great wealth of cacti and succulents— the succulents being in excellent condition. There are over 160 different cactus types and 1000 palm trees of 42 different types.
Parrot-like birds are well-represented in the park, but other types of birds are also to be found, including a variety of swans and ducks. In all there are over 1,500 exotic birds of 230 different species. Many of these fly freely in the park.
Additionally there are monkeys, crocodiles, an orchid house, an aquarium with fish and coral displays, and Europe's largest butterfly house. |
