Early into the bird park before the crowds. What a wonderful vision Dennis and Anna Croukamp had to set up this amazing park in the forest for rescued birds. As I am a bird lover, I was delighted to see such a large variety of birds from flamingos to numerous parrots, eagles, king vulture which I had never seen before, and of course the many macaws to the cheeky Toucans. One of my favourites was the red fan parrot, so colourful. It was such a delightful experience to wander through this bird park to see the birds up close. Take your time wandering through the park, you will enjoy it all the more.

The walk through the protection unit, created to preserve the fauna and flora during the formation of the reservoir of the Plant, goes around the Piracema Canal until reaching the buildings of the refuge. At the two kilometers trail in the middle of the native forest, the experience is magnified with learning about the environment.

We got to go on a tour of the Ecological Refuge while we were staying in Foz do Iguazu and it's definitely worth the stop! We had a great tour guide who was very informative and told us about the refuge's work they have done and the interesting biology behind it all. I would definitely suggest making time to see the refuge!
