Traveler reviews
Black Bird
★★★★★7 years agoA very wild and beautiful park. The ecosystem is very rich with a wide range of fauna and flora. In every part of the park one can read about the species living there. Running or walking tracks are also present all over the park without ruining the soil with concrete or other material. Depending on the difficulty of the wanted track, one can follow green, orange or red arrows to know where to go (or can just enjoy getting lost!). I recommend going there.
