The experience

Dreams Eco Park sits in Foz do Iguaçu and centers on the art of falconry: the training of hawks, eagles and other predators that families have passed down for millennia. You'll watch these birds fly, see how their hunting and feeding are monitored, and learn why this ancient practice mattered to the formation of civilizations. The park doesn't just demonstrate the skill. It rehabilitates predators that have been sheltered there, so the birds you see are part of an active conservation effort.

The tour moves through the park's grounds, which are fully wheelchair accessible. A live guide in Spanish or Portuguese walks you through the history and ecology of each bird, explaining how predators control fauna and flora on a global scale, not as abstract information, but as you watch the animals move and hunt. The whole experience is built for families, and infants can come in a pram or stroller or sit on an adult's lap.
