of the contribution that tourism makes to the island's economy, it is not surprising to find that the

The Rancho Texas park on the outskirt of Puerto del Carmen, is the recreation of the American wild west
complete with cowboys, indians, wig wams, buffalo, crocodiles and many other exotic animals.
Overall the park took over 5 years to create and now covers an area of some 50,000 m².
As you enter the attraction you are met by Sofia, who is a huge owl with piercing yellow eyes, and with whom you
will undoubtedly be photographed with. During the day you can lose the children for hours whilst they play in
the Indian village or pan for gold amongst the waters of the goldmine water wheel, although be sure to reserve
their seats for the eagle, crocodile and parrot shows that also take place at regular intervals throughout the
day. In keeping with their western theme, the park also has its own riding stables where absolute novices
can safely enjoy a short horseback ride, and more experienced riders can undertake a 1/2 day trek down
to the beach. During the evening and after the main park closes for the day, their Country and Western
themed nights are also a very popular attraction where the whole family can party the night away.
Their own professional entertainment team will endeavour to keep everyone entertained with a combination
of live music and line dancing along with special entertainment for the children. Central to the evening is always
their "eat as much as you can" American style BBQ complete with beer, sangria or soft drinks all included
within the entrance price. Entrance to the park is quite reasonable at around 14€ for adults and 9€ for children,
although for those visitors staying in one of their 10 specially designed lodges on site daily entrance is of course
free. Contact details for more information and bookings is:

A unique way of seeing what lies beneath the seas around Lanzarote is by the Sub Fun Tres tourist submarine,
which operates out of the marina at Puerto Calero.
For the technically minded, the Sub Fun Tres is 1 of only 8 Mark III tourist submarines that were built by
the Mobimar Corporation of Finland
and is 18.6m long, can safely dive to a depth of 75m and cruise at 2 knots,
whilst carrying a maximum of 48 passengers plus a crew of 2. A trip on The Sub Fun Tres
usually lasts around 1 hour, during which you will normally be submerged for around 50 minutes,
and departs throughout the day from 10am. Contact details for more information and bookings is:
