Ruins of the Wild: Mayan Jungle was inspired by ancient Mayan civilizations and the abundance of wildlife that now traverse across its ruined architecture. High towering structures with large staircases climb up out of the landscape like the temples of Tikal, all ornately decorated and carved like the ruins of ChichenItza. This ecosystem once controlled by the powerful Mayan culture, now teeming with all walks of wildlife is the image and location that the Wild Animal Park is creating for its visitors. Educational graphics in conjunction with traditional Mayan architecture grab at guests of all ages, engaging them in the theme and education trying to be achieved. This immersive experience increases visitors connection with nature and in turn creates new stewards for wildlife preservation and conservation of both animals and habitats throughout Central and South America, as well as the world.
