Rancho Texas Lanzarote park, Theme park and animal sanctuary in Puerto del Carmen, Spain
Rancho Texas Lanzarote is a combination amusement and animal park in Puerto del Carmen that features water rides, pools, slides, and habitats for different species. Dolphins, sea lions, and various birds occupy separate sections throughout the grounds.
The park originated in the 1990s as a small Wild West-themed attraction and gradually expanded into a larger facility. It has become the largest animal and entertainment complex across the Canary Islands.
The shows feature western-themed entertainment with dolphins and birds, where visitors observe trainers working directly with animals during live demonstrations. This blend of performance and education creates a connection between entertainment and animal care practices.
The facility offers free shuttle services from major tourist areas across Lanzarote for easy transport. Early morning visits work best for shorter wait times and comfortable viewing of the shows.
Visitors can swim with sea lions or assist trainers during dolphin feeding sessions in specialized encounters. These direct interactions allow hands-on experiences that go beyond simply watching the animals.

Lanzarote is an island in the Canaries shaped by its volcanic past. Timanfaya National Park spreads across a large part of the island, showing black lava fields, craters, and colored rock formations. Volcanoes like El Cuervo, Montaña Colorada, and Caldera Blanca can be hiked. Underground caves such as Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua lead through lava tunnels formed thousands of years ago. Along the coast, rocks and hardened lava shape coves like Los Hervideros and El Golfo with its green lagoon. Beaches range from the protected bays of Papagayo with pale sand to the long stretch of Famara Beach backed by tall cliffs. In La Geria, vines grow in small hollows covered with volcanic ash, a farming method adapted to the dry conditions. The Cactus Garden near Guatiza displays hundreds of species in a former quarry. Museums like the César Manrique Foundation and LagOmar merge architecture with the landscape. Museo Atlántico sits underwater off Playa Blanca. Traditional sites include Santa Bárbara Castle and San Gabriel Castle, along with the Janubio Salt Flats where salt is still harvested today.
