The Park is divided into seven regions that recreate the natural habitats of the birds, complete with indigenous plant life. You can travel from the deep misty jungle of Sumatra to Far East Indonesia and Papua to discover the native birds from these remote regions. Explore the South American exotic such as the Golden Macaw and the Congo Gray Parrot from the African Savannah.

 The uniqueness of the Karangasem Kubu tree house, situated for access to climb the tree house. To be able to climb the tree house, the visitors must pass through the bridge made of bamboo. Turned out pretty high also this bamboo bridge, passable makes my knees tremble. Please be careful!

Once you up in the tree house, beautiful scenery, will be seen 180 degrees. If you face southwest, you will see a view of the summit of Mount Agung (the highest volcano on the island of Bali). If you are facing east, a stretch of beach Amed and Tulamben beach with blue sea will be visible. There are also buildings from the ground a round-month order, the higher the more conical. Under the tree house area there is also a swing and a gazebo.
