Lanzarote is the Guinate Tropical Park

However, a holiday in not only about soaking up the sun so those who prefer more activity need not worry. The Rancho Texas is a Western Theme Park which has an Indian Village, a Nature Park and theme restaurants. Visitors can see the variety of animals and birds at the Nature Park, such as iguanas, crocodiles, racoons, fallow deer, cougars, armadillos, prairie-dogs and many types of birds. There are tepees and canoes in the Indian Village for children to play in. Plus Rancho Texas’ legendary Western Night is guaranteed to keep the entire family entertained with line dancing and live music, BBQ and desserts, beer, soft drinks and special entertainment for kids.

Also in Lanzarote is the Guinate Tropical Park situated at the foot of the extinct volcano Mount Carona. This is a perfect day out destination as it has small animals, waterfalls, gardens and lakes. If travelling with kids the mongoose, capybaras, meerkats and wallabies at the park will be a delight. There are also fish and reptile to see. Right throughout the park thoughtfully placed information signs help make the visit fun and educational. Take a walk along the cactus walk on the hillside and be serenaded by the sound of the free flowing water on its way down the hill to the Flamingo pool below.

Lanzarote is the windsurfer’s paradise! People travel from all over to enjoy the perfect windsurfing conditions. Costa Teguise and Papagayo would be the places for windsurfers to head to. Costa Teguise has a shallow reef where waves can reach 2 or 3 meters and more advanced surfers can ride the waves that appear in the middle of the reef. There are jetties that shelter the beach which make it the perfect place for beginners to practice.
