THE ENCOUNTERS

Tactile wildlife moments — capybaras, lemurs and parrots

Visitors can pet a capybara, feed a lemur or hold a parrot as part of the park visit, creating close-up photo opportunities and memorable animal interactions.

THE FORMAT

Private guided tour of the zoo

Admission includes a private guided tour of the zoo only, led by park staff — a focused circuit through animal habitats rather than a drop-in visit.

THE DEAL

Group pricing and booking

Special rates apply for large parties; the operator offers group pricing and asks groups to call to arrange bookings and any add-ons.

What the day feels like

What the visit feels like

The visit unfolds as a compact, guided loop through the park’s enclosures and interaction stations. Over two to two-and-a-half hours, your group follows a guide from one hands-on encounter to the next — petting a capybara, feeding a lemur, or holding a parrot — with time to photograph the animals and collect stories to take home.
