DOLPHIN EMBASSY
Los Gigantes and Puerto Colon seaports, Tenerife, the Canary Islands.
Many supporters of the idea that the Atlantis really existed, believe it was here.
Once the island was home to the enigmatic civilization of Guanches. They went extinct after the Canaries were conquered by Europeans.
Mount Teide, a volcano rising high above the island is the highest peak in Spain. The area surrounding its large crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a place where a great many sci-fi stories of travels to distant planets have been filmed.
The waters around the island are one of the eternal global “capitals” of cetaceans.
HEADQUATERS
The Embassy's permanent base on Tenerife serves as the focal point as well as the headquarters for the World Dolphin Festival and the Embassy's Club Programmes.
The Dolphin Embassy headquarters is the first-ever permanent space for interspecies interaction between humans, the world ocean and higher mammals inhabiting it.
The Embassy is also a multidisciplinary cultural center. Along with its permanent open program it organizes:
- thematic exhibitions
- premiere film screenings
- seminars ad roundtable discussions
- international workshops and internships
- public lectures and concerts
- club evening events
The Embassy occupies a transformable space that can be easily modified from an exhibition hall into a lecture hall into a milonga dance floor.
The Embassy’s philosophy is based on the idea of open cooperation of all who love nature and the ocean, who are fascinated with cetaceans and consciousness in general.
We don’t just partake in, but bring together various perspectives, various fields of knowledge and activity.
The Embassy provides any like-minded person, be it an underwater photographer, marine biologist, neurophysiologist, artist, musician, traveler or a ship captain, with an opportunity to present the results of their work to an engaged audience, find useful contacts, a social circle and new prospects.
