The botanical garden serves as a scientific hub for the study of invasive species and arid-climate plant conservation.
Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura is the largest animal rescue and conservation center in the Canary Islands, spanning over 800,000 square meters. The park functions as a botanical garden and zoological center, housing over 3,000 animals from 250 different species. It features one of the largest camel herds in Europe, a remnant of the historical importance of dromedaries in the local agricultural landscape. Visitors can engage in interactive experiences including sea lion encounters, lemur feedings, and camel safaris. The grounds include a dedicated botanical garden displaying over 6,000 species of tropical and subtropical plants. The center operates an active veterinary and rehabilitation hospital for rescued wildlife. It is the only place in the Canary Islands where visitors can interact with giraffes. The park utilizes sustainable water management systems to maintain its arid-zone flora.
The raised viewing platform in the giraffe enclosure provides a high-angle perspective for eye-level shots with the animals.
Arrive as early as possible to coincide with the animals' morning feeding sessions when they are most active.
Bring sun protection and a hat, as the park features vast, open areas with minimal shade during peak midday hours.
Wear comfortable, sturdy walking shoes as the park covers significant terrain with inclines.
Do not attempt to walk the entire perimeter without utilizing the internal park transport services, as the site is much larger than it appears.
Open daily throughout the year.
