The Bird Park is an important institution, since it is the only one in the world dedicated to the conservation of the birds of the Atlantic Forest. During our tour we will have encounters with majestic toucans, herons, elegant flamingos, imposing harpy eagles, owls and even some reptiles such as alligators, anacondas, and boa constrictors. We will pass through enormous natural aviaries where hundreds of macaws, parrots, peahens, and other birds will fly overhead in a genuinely immersive experience. In addition, we will learn about the great work that the institution does in the rescue and rehabilitation of different species.
