Camel Safari Park La Baranda is a camel park and safari operator located in Fataga, Canarias. The company operates guided camel rides through the historic Mil Palmeras oasis, a 300-year-old botanical and agricultural site. Visitors can choose from three core experiences: a 30-minute guided camel ride, a one-hour guided camel ride, and a three-hour camel tour that includes local tapas and transfer service from the Maspalomas area.
Rides take place across varied terrain that showcases dune-like desert landscapes, tropical gardens, and fruit trees preserved within the Mil Palmeras oasis. During each experience, guests interact with friendly camels and other farm animals while a trained guide leads the group and provides safety briefings and local context. The three-hour tour combines the camel safari with a meal service served in a museum-style setting featuring historic farming tools.
Camel Safari Park La Baranda serves visitors of all ages and is positioned for family outings, couples, and individual travelers seeking a unique outdoor activity in Gran Canaria. The park emphasizes a calm, educational pace rather than high-speed adventure, making it accessible to beginners and children.
Located in Fataga, near Maspalomas and other southern Canarias attractions, the park offers easy access for travelers staying in the region. All promotional information and trip formats reflect the park’s current offerings: Solo Paseo 30min en camello con Guia; Solo Paseo 1 hora en camello con Guia; and Tour en Camello + Comida + Transfer Zona Maspalomas.
