The Frontera Rural Park is a large area where nature and rural tourism are combined in the youngest of the Canary Islands. El Hierro is a Unesco Biosphere Reserve and at 268 square kilometres is the most western and southern of the Canary Islands. It’s also the point where, centuries ago, the world ended as far as the European cartographers were concerned. The southern and western part of the island is a rural tourism idyll: Frontera Rural Park, where man and nature still co-exist in peace.

In the south east of Tenerife you will find the Pyramids of Güímar Ethnographic Park. It has been built around the six stepped pyramids found in the region, each about four metres high and whose origins are not totally clear. The museum allows visitors to learn about other pyramids around the world and the ancient civilisations that built them. The boats used by these ancient cultures also have their space in the museum, thanks largely to the fact that the main figure behind this museum was the explorer Thor Heyerdahl, known for his maritime expeditions.

Crocodilo Park, located in the south east of Gran Canaria close to Agüimes, offers a spectacular crocodile show where the crocs are fed live to show the strength of their jaws .

As a private zoo, all proceeds from the entry fee go towards the care of the animals.

At Sioux City you still get battles in the sunshine. The cowboys drive their cattle through the streets, bandits rob the bank with sticks of dynamite and you can share a saloon table with the sheriff.

Sioux City is a special place in San Bartolomé de Tirajana designed to fire children’s imagination.
