Oasis Park, Botanical and zoological complex in Pájara, Spain
Oasis Park is a zoo and botanical complex in Pájara that houses various animal species and plants from the Canary Islands region. The grounds feature both animal habitats and plant collections that represent the local natural diversity.
The park was created to diversify Fuerteventura's tourism offerings and establish a center focused on wildlife protection and botanical research. This development shifted how the island approached tourism by making education and animal welfare key priorities.
Daily shows let you watch sea lions, birds of prey, and reptiles behaving as they would in nature, while staff explain how to care for them properly. These presentations help visitors understand why protecting these animals matters for the island.
The grounds are easy to navigate on foot with clear pathways through the animal and plant areas. Arriving early helps you catch the shows and explore the entire facility without feeling rushed.
Visitors can ride camels, a traditional way of traveling in the Fuerteventura region, creating a direct connection with the island's landscape and heritage. This hands-on experience reveals how people historically moved across these lands.
