Palmitos Park
A colourful and entertaining look at nature is presented at
Palmitos Park, situated four miles (6km) inland from Arguineguin on
the south coast. The park is a subtropical oasis containing
thousands of birds, fish, trees, plants and particularly orchids.
The orchid house is the largest in the Canary Islands and the range
is astonishing. There is a cactus garden too, a huge butterfly
house and an aquarium featuring a recreated riverbed. Parrots
complete the picture among the lush Canarian flora which fills the
park.
