Removed from Unnamed collection

Nestled within Ecopark Ancol in North Jakarta, Faunaland sprawls across a lush 5-hectare area teeming with both land and water features. This unique zoo brings the enchanting essence of Papua to life, blending the rich natural beauty of Asia and Australia. It's a place where visitors can discover a dazzling array of rare and fascinating animals from across Indonesia, especially from the eastern regions, as well as exotic species from around the globe.

Faunaland offers an experience like no other, where the boundaries between visitors and animals blur. Many of the creatures roam freely in open spaces, allowing for direct interaction that feels both thrilling and intimate. Imagine walking among kangaroos or feeding vibrant birds—it's an animal lover's dream come true.

Adding to the allure, Faunaland immerses visitors in the cultural wonders of Papua. Intricate carvings by the Asmat tribe adorn the landscape, lending an authentic touch. You can even paddle around the zoo in a canoe, all while serenaded by the soulful melodies of traditional Papuan songs. For those thirsting for knowledge, Faunaland presents educational shows under the banner of "Natural Behavior." These engaging performances aim to enlighten visitors about the diverse wildlife inhabiting this magical place. It's not just about observing animals; it's about understanding them and the roles they play in our world. And here's a fun tidbit: Faunaland is also a treat for plant enthusiasts. The zoo's gardens boast a variety of native Papuan flora, offering a feast for the senses with their vibrant colors and unique scents. It's a little slice of paradise that captures the heart and sparks the imagination.
