The themed programme will offer a performance by a Brazilian dancer or a quiz trail for young and old alike. In dozens of terrariums people will be able to see one of the most poisonous frogs in the world, the golden poison frog, as well as rarely bred species such as the Marañón poison frog or the green and black poison dart frog “Capurgana”.
