as a result the park is simply bursting with rare and endangered species, which have been able to find a safe haven in the extensive, and protected, lush vegetation.

many species can be observed throughout a trip to the bosque, including, biguás and quero-queros birds, coatis, saguis (small monkeys), alligators and giant beavers, native to south america called capybaras.

in addition to wildlife observation, there are a number of alternative activities available in this green oasis, as it is now used as a recreational and leisure area, for local residents and visitors alike, with an abundance of facilities to keep everyone occupied.

included in the facilities are a three kilometer running track, that can also be used as a bike track, a children's play area, with toys included, an impressive 1,200 square meter artificial lake, an orchid nursery, and a small theatre, used for staging plays and musical performances.  arrow-back      arrow-forward
