The Canary Islands, a few miles from the West African coast of Western Sahara, have, in some parts, a climate and vegetation suitable for life camel. Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and the southern part of Gran Canaria and Tenerife are desert climate zones, in which only the animal and the ass have been used without major adjustment problems.
Due to these reasons of proximity and, shortly after the conquest of the islands by the Spanish began to arrive the first camels to the eastern islands, later extended throughout much of the islands.
Its main use has been tilling the land and carrying loads and people, until a few years ago when the introduction of mechanical means has made this animal obsolete . Only in recent years, thanks to tourism, this animal has found once again a new way of life and appear in the landscape of the Canary Islands.

Camel Park was the first camel breeding center in Tenerife. They started operations in 1988 with 15 camels on a banana farm located in Guaza and by 1993 they had managed to gather more than 60 animals.

At that time, camel safaris took place on the mountain cliffs from Guaza to Palmar, and people were received back at the park with a Canarian meal and plenty of sangria to spare.

In 1995 they bought a typical Canarian finca, situated between la Camella and Chayofa, and since then they have offered customers a welcoming environment, in touch with nature and in the company of farm animals.
