Two interconnected pools, natural design and a structured area - all of this provides these thermophilous penguins ideal standards.

A considerable portion of the perimeter walls of this exhibit is formed of large stones with cavities and fissures of all types created among them. This was creators' intention since this species of penguins is found in the wild live in warm areas on the coast of Chile and Peru, so during the breeding season they must seek shelter from direct sunlight. The upper pool is the deepest reservoir across the zoo and is where the penguins spend most of their time. The lower glass-enclosed pool then allows you to watch the birds as they range under water.
