Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura is a large animal and botanical park in La Lajita, on the island’s southeast coast. Its routes pass animal habitats, planted paths and a cactus garden with ocean views. You can see sea lion, bird and reptile presentations, and buy food to feed camels, giraffes or goats. The park has cafés and restaurants, but food and drinks can add up, so bring a packed lunch if you want to keep costs down. Set aside much of the day to explore without rushing.
Animal and botanical areas
Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura combines a zoo with botanical gardens and a garden centre. The routes take you past animal habitats as well as planting, so there is more to explore than the animal areas alone. Trees and shrubs grow along the paths, and flowers are named along the way.
The park is large, and a full visit can take most of the day, particularly if you stop for presentations. If you have limited time, decide which animals and areas matter most to you before setting off. The uphill walk to the bird presentation can feel demanding in hot weather.
Presentations and animal encounters
Sea lions, birds and reptiles are among the animals featured in presentations. Some are given in English and Spanish. Check the schedule when you arrive so you can fit the performances around your walk through the park.
You can buy food for encounters with animals such as camels, giraffes and goats. Feeding is an optional extra, and the available food can differ by animal. Some closer animal experiences also cost extra and come with rules about how visitors can approach or interact with the animals. Check the details before paying so you know what the activity includes.
Planning your visit
The park is at Carr. Gral. Jandía in La Lajita. Visitors travelling by car report a straightforward drive from Caleta de Fuste, though traffic can slow the journey on the one-lane road. Parking is available on site.
There are toilets along the walking routes and places to buy refreshments. Food and drinks can be costly over a long day, so bringing a packed lunch is a practical option. The heat can make the walking tiring; comfortable shoes, a hat and water will help you manage the routes.
