Faunia
This zoo and botanical garden is divided into different areas and each one of them represents an ecosystem. Here you’ll be able to feel as if you were in the jungle, the forest or even in polar regions! While you are in Faunia, you will be able to enjoy educational talks on different topics, interact with animals (you can even feed crocodiles!), have lunch in one of the restaurants inside the park, and learn all about the species in there. Want to find out more? Check out their websites to find out about prices, open hours, etc.
Retiro Boats
Spring is probably the best time of the year to do this activity, since it’s neither too hot nor too cold. Open from Monday to Sunday from 10am until sunset, these boats are made for four people and are perfect to do some sports all together while enjoying the views from the lake. Want to find out more?
