You will walk along platforms suspended between the canopies of exotic trees and giant ferns. The route will guide you to the lower level, where you will discover tranquil ponds with Koi carp and turtles resting under artificial waterfalls. Continue to the <strong>\"Arid House\"<\/strong>, a warm, dry space dedicated to cacti and succulents.
