Birds Park is a sanctuary where you can live a unique experience of coexistence with nature. It is much more than a zoo, so it is important for the traveler that not only his visit will be the typical activity of photos and videos. The interesting thing is to live the experience, coexistence and respect for nature. I highlight the butterfly sanctuary, it was an incredible experience to observe all its life cycle and habitat. I recommend it very much.
