The Ecological Path
On the Ecological Path we will walk the trails with the goal of having fun and getting to know the nature of the site.
Don’t leave the trail or walk away from the group without the permission of a teacher or monitor.
It is fundemental to respect the environment and not leave any type of waste or garbege.
Disturb the fauna as little as possible, don’t pick plants, and when you leave the nature site, try to leave it just like you found it.

One of the great spectacles that nature can offer us is the power to contemplate birds in their natural habitat.
But ATTENTION! In the country, we should be civil and discreet, passing as unnoticed as possible, neither altering the habitat, nor disturbing the animals. Now that you have observed some of the birds on the path, try to indentify them by their silhouettes.
