With convenient facilities featuring a roof, visitors can enjoy a unique and fascinating experience observing these insects.

Visitors can closely observe how leaf-cutter ants use their jaws to cut leaves and transport them to the colony. During the tour, there is an opportunity to see how they cultivate fungus and, surprisingly, to witness the real queen, which is usually almost impossible to see in the wild. However, with our system and colony, it is possible to observe her. It is important to highlight the caste divisions and roles of these significant insects.

In one hour of learning about the ants’ society and structure, their long journey of leaf transportation, the queen’s importance, and more, this incredible journey through the life of ants will captivate anyone.

At the Operation Center Aguas Bravas in Chilamate, Sarapiquí, visitors can find the Zompopas Ants Colony, open from 9 am to 4 pm.
