Camel Park Arteara

Become sultan of the sands for a day with this thrilling camel ride adventure in the dramatic landscape of the Arteara gully. This half-day tour also includes visits to a bakery, an old communal washer and a delicious traditional Canarian lunch.

We’ll collect you and bring you to Arteara, a valley that is at the crossroads between the green north and the arid south, a contrast that has led to a striking landscape. There will be time to check out the picturesque village of Fataga, including the beautiful whitewashed church and the former communal washer as well as a bakery.

Then it’s time for the highlight of the day. You will ride a dromedary (single-humped) camel for about three-quarters of an hour across palm groves. Camels were introduced to the Canaries 600 years ago by the Castilians during their conquest of the islands. Nowadays, there are more than 150 on Gran Canaria.

Following the ride we’ll settle down for a fantastic Canarian feast of chicken, Canarian potatoes with mojo sauce, salad, banana, water and sangria. After lunch, well take a scenic route back to the coast to drop you back to your hotel.
