Ajolotario is a pavilion within a restored wetland that allows visitors to experience the ecosystem in an immersive way, with a direct connection with nature and in a 360-degree perspective, above and below the water. It occupies almost 400 square meters on marshy ground, is elevated above the water and is accessed via a bridge. This space is an educational center designed for recreational learning and wildlife conservation, with a focus on the importance of the axolotl (endemic mexican amphibian) and its diversity.
