The visit begins with a video projection by Nat Geo Wild (channel 409 of SKY), featuring spectacular close-ups of crocodiles, snakes, and amphibians, and images related to illegal animal trade to raise public awareness about the value of Biodiversity. The visit continues in an open-air tropical environment, with waterfalls and trees, home to iguanas, savannah birds, and various species of tortoises, including the Aldabra tortoises, the largest existing on the planet. Through an underground tunnel, visitors immerse themselves in a rainforest, among orchids, bromeliads, and ferns, where they can observe crocodiles, forest tortoises, chameleons, and colorful birds.

After the tropical forest, the circular path of the terrariums begins, housing various species of reptiles, and continues into the invertebrate and amphibian sections. In the invertebrate area, visitors can see, among others, Madagascar hissing cockroaches, field crickets, giant millipedes, giant snails from Zanzibar, and hissing cockroaches from tropical Asia.

The amphibian section aims to raise public awareness about the mass extinction facing this group of animals. It houses, among others, the axolotl, a large Mexican “salamander,” and the tomato frogs from Madagascar, which are very rare. Also present are the dendrobatids, colorful “dart frogs,” so named because indigenous people in tropical America use them to poison the tips of their spears. Their colors – yellow and black, electric blue, orange – warn potential predators of their danger. Interestingly, in captivity, these frogs lose their poison because, in nature, the poison is transmitted to them by the insects they eat, which in turn have fed on poisonous plants; when this chain is interrupted, the frogs become harmless.
