    After enjoying a delicious lunch, we had the opportunity to take a relaxing walk along the park's trails. Each step revealed new wonders of nature. The crocodiles and turtles added a touch of excitement to the experience, while the colorful butterflies, especially the blue morpho, created a fascinating visual spectacle.
