Fun & Theme Parks: Mundo Aborigen

Located in a setting of incomparable beauty overlooking the Barranco de Fataga, the biggest and most dramatic gorge on the island, you will find Mundo Aborigen, a reconstruction of an ancient Canary village devoted entirely to the Guanche way of life.


This park gives genuine insight into pre-Hispanic culture, with more than one hundred man-size figures set up in lifelike scenes and recorded domestic animal noises in the background to give the whole setting some realism. A marked trail leads through vivid descriptions of everything, from a butcher gutting a goat, a doctor making a surgery, a farmer sowing a field to a convict being executed with a stone …


To emphasis the most important aspects of Guanche culture, a small archaeological museum has also been created on the site.


Mundo Aborigen has been declared ‘Place of Cultural, Social and Historical Interest’ by the local government.


Opening hours: everyday from 9.00 to 18.00 hrs


Location: Road from Playa del Inglés to Fataga – San Bartolomé de Tirajana
