We had read about Rancho Texas prior to staying in Puerto Del Carmen and had it on our ‘places to visit’ list. After queuing to pay our admission 22 Euros per non residential adult, although as a wheelchair user I paid the 2-14 years price of 17 euros, We went exploring with the aid of the guide which we were given that had a good map and time of the shows.

Please note that for any wheelchair user please there are quite a few steep hills and uneven surfaces within Rancho Texas which requires a fair bit of pushing/propelling to get up. Once the person pushing has recovered from the hills, there is quite a range of animals to see along with three shows – Parrots, birds of prey and sea lions. They were all fairly entertaining and well presented in different languages. As a wheelchair user, I felt that there ought to have been designated viewing areas as it was a bit difficult to see the shows, especially the sea lion one. There were a number of animals and birds to be seen throughout the park including White Tigers, Pumas, Bison, Crocodiles, Reptiles and Horses. They all had nice areas to ‘live in’ and viewing of them was made easy due to the layout of the park. I believe there is also a splash zone, children’s farm and canoeing which can be visited at an additional cost. Other than the hills and bits of rough surface, we found the park to be well laid out, with interesting areas ands animals throughout. We possibly missed out on other bits of Rancho Texas but we found ourselves to have gone round in less than three hours. We thought that there would have been more but not that we found. Possibly Rancho Texas is more of a destination for families rather than people such as ourselves.
