The Arthropodarium is a thematic area of the zoo where visitors can experience and marvel at the fantastic world of entomology. Here you will find bugs all over the world, to impress you with their shapes, sizes and colors

 

In the Aviaria you look up to walk the path of the bird and feel the pleasure of seeing flying ibis, but pay attention, the doves are flapping their wings among the people to move from one tree to another. To learn about our feathered friends, visitors have the opportunity to enter this huge aviary of 1,000 m2 in area, covered by a net suspended 11 meters high. 24 species of birds flit among the lush vegetation

The Herpetarium is the most important of Chile with about 60 species are exhibited in 58 different sizes terrariums specially designed to assess the habitat and habits of the reptile world

 

The Mayan ruins penetrates into the dense jungle to identify those responsible for the sounds hidden in the foliage. A chorus of parrots, parrots and parakeets flutter from branch to branch and, as you go, pygmy marmosets, smaller than the palm of a hand, look at you with curiosity. Opened in late June 2003, the Maya jungle represents the efforts to provide the animals a better quality of life. With temperature and humidity typical of tropical climate, the 10 species housed in this building replicas wander among Mayan ruins overrun by vines.

Owls fly silently to surprise their prey and ferrets tunnels traverse the gallery of your home, while the tireless Hedgehogs are among the litter.
