Timeline
07:00
Arrive as the gates open at 07:00. This is the quietest time to explore the exhibits on rubber extraction and Chico Mendes’s life without the school groups that visit later in the day.
07:45
Walk through the zoo area to see the local jaguars, caymans, macaws, and monkeys. The early morning light is gentle on the eyes and the animals are often more active.
08:30
Find a quiet bench or shade in the large green area to rest. Since there are no food shops listed nearby, bring your own water and snacks to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before heading out.
