¿Sabías que este paraíso emplumado nació de un rescate desesperado y ahora alberga aves que roban el show a las mismísimas Cataratas?
Bird Park is open every day, including public holidays, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with last entry at 4:00 p.m. You can get there easily by taxi, rental car, or city bus from Foz do Iguaçu. It is located very close to Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian side, making it perfect to combine both visits.
General admission to Bird Park costs 80 Brazilian reals for visitors who are not residents of Brazil. Children up to 8 years old enter free, and there are discounts for residents of Foz do Iguaçu and Brazil, as well as for Brazilian seniors and students. You can check updated prices and buy your tickets on the official website: Bird Park - Visit.
To fully enjoy the experience at Bird Park, I recommend setting aside between 2 and 3 hours. This will allow you to stroll calmly through the aviaries, observe the birds, take photos, and enjoy the interaction without feeling rushed.
Bird Park was founded in 1994 by Dennis and Anna Croukamp with the mission of being a conservation and rehabilitation center for birds of the Atlantic Forest. It is much more than a simple zoo, focusing on captive breeding of threatened species and environmental education. Its importance lies in being the largest bird sanctuary for the Atlantic Forest in the world, actively contributing to the preservation of biodiversity.
For a more pleasant experience, I recommend visiting Bird Park early in the morning, just after opening, or later in the afternoon. At these times, the weather is cooler, there are fewer people, and the birds are more active. This also helps you avoid the middle of the day, which can be hot and busier, especially during peak season from December to February.
Yes, Bird Park is designed to be as accessible as possible. It has paved paths and most areas are wheelchair accessible. They also offer courtesy wheelchairs and have adapted restrooms. For any specific needs, it is recommended to contact them in advance: WhatsApp +55 45 9914-2751.
Bird Park is strategically located right next to the Brazilian entrance to Iguazu Falls, which is an essential visit. You can also consider exploring the Three Borders Landmark or taking a boat tour on the Iguazu River. There are plenty of options to keep enjoying nature and local culture.
Of course — here are a few helpful tips! Bring insect repellent, sunscreen, and a hat, and do not forget your camera to capture the beauty of the birds. Wear comfortable clothes and suitable walking shoes. Keep an eye on feeding times for some species, which can be a fascinating experience. And most importantly, be respectful of the wildlife and its environment.
