JUNGLE WORKSHOP

The Amazonian jungle is one of the richest ecosystems on the planet.  The Jungle Ecosystem at Faunia consists of a journey from the tops of the trees right down to the depths of the river, through which we will discover the species that live in this habitat, such as the squirrel monkey or saimiri, the pigmy marmoset or giant arapaima. We will help the keepers make nests and toys for the animals.
