Terra Natura:
Terra Natura is an entertaining and educational trip through nature and
the civilisations of the world in unique surroundings.
This leisure complex has a surface area of 32 hectares and it first opened it's
doors to the public in 2004. Terra Natura is a new idea which allows the visitor
to travel through, study and discover the Earth's eco-systems and civilisations.
The leisure complex will initially take guests on journey to 3 of the 5
continents (America, Asia & Europe), preceded by an entry zone inspired by the
origins of the EARTH: Pangaea. Each area of Terra Natura represents one of the
elements of Nature: Fire (Pangaea), Air (America), Earth (Asia) & Water
(Europe).
Visitors will find exact replicas of the original landscapes with over 1,500
animals from 200 different species, 54 of which are in danger of extinction. One
of the main attractions of the park will be the fact that any barriers between
animals and the travellers are hidden to ensure direct eye contact between the
two.
Terra Natura is not a typical Theme Park, it is a combination of history,
culture, nature, leisure & entertainment and is unlike anything else in Europe.
The complex will have a full restaurant service (one table-service restaurant,
one self-service, five fast food restaurants, five bars, four kiosks & three
mobile stalls), themed craft shops & workshops used by different craftsman.
