Visitors to Veragua will have the opportunity to learn from naturalist guides about the rich biodiversity found within the rainforest as well as visit the snake exhibit, frog and butterfly habitats and observe ongoing research by the INBio lab. For as much as we know about tropical Rainforests there is much we are still learning, in fact the INBio lab on average discovers a new species every day!
Veragua allows visitors to learn from their world class exhibits and naturalist guides but it also enables people to experience the beauty of the rainforest both from the canopy level as well as throughout the extensive trail system. The Veragua Tram is a silent Gondola that transports visitors to the Trail of the Giants path where there are very large old growth trees, some over 300 years old. Visitors also have the opportunity to have a full day Veragua experience and do a zip line canopy tour, the most thrilling way to enjoy the tropical rainforests.
