Acuario Poema del Mar

Next to the Cruise Ship Pier and 200 meters from “Las Canteras” Beach, has been created in the downtown of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria the Great Aquarium Poema del Mar.

A large biodiversity theme park of our Blue Planet with three zones: surface marine ecosystems, deep marine ecosystems and freshwater species. Poema del Mar will recreate as accurately as possible the ecosystems of dozens of species that inhabit both, inside and outside the water.

The visitor will start the tour submerging in the first zone, The Jungle, which reproduces images of landscapes that cover the entire planet, paying homage to the 5 continents. The second part of Poema del Mar, Arrecife, is a walk around a huge cylinder with more than 400.000 liters of water, which exhibits a variety of colours of corals and fish. The final part of the tour ends in the Deep Ocean.

• Each exhibition shows more than 350 species from all over the planet, but some of them will be seen for the first time in an aquarium.
• 12,500 m2 built and completely thematic designed taking the visitor to each hidden space of the planet so they can have the experience of seeing how they live.
• The largest curved window that has ever been manufactured in the world: 140 tons of weight, 36 meters long and 7 meters high.
• More than 2000 species originating from different places in the world; they support the jungle that accompanies the space dedicated to the rivers and lagoons along with its marine world.
