Tourism

Hotels and restaurants are available in the village. Camel rides are offered through the lava fields to the Camel Park. Dromedaries are bred there, which take visitors from there to Timanfaya National Park and on safari tours in other areas of the island. Another tourist attraction in Uga is a set of three large camel sculptures recently created by Paco Curbelo.
