- Orquideorama: the signature structure, a set of hexagonal timber canopies that look like petals from above. Underneath, orchids hang and trees grow through openings in the roof, and the shade makes it the best spot to sit.
- Orchid collection: Colombia has more orchid species than almost any country, and this is where you can see many of them close up. Bloom depends on the season, so expect variety rather than a fixed display.
- Main lagoon: the pond draws turtles, herons and large iguanas that sunbathe on the banks. Walk slowly and you can get close without any effort.
- Butterfly house: a small enclosed space where butterflies flutter at head height. It is quick but charming for photographers.
- Cactus and desert garden: a drier zone that contrasts sharply with the rainforest planting, useful for seeing
