The La Pampa aviary is the largest permanant exhibition at the Ostrava Zoological Garden and Botanical Park where visitors can enjoy being in close proximity to the animals. The aviary is designed as a symbolic connection to three areas in Argentina: Espinal, Monte and Pampa. Thanks to the close working of architects, builders and zoologists, it was possible to create a unique environment that is attractive to visitors to the Ostrava Zoo and also favorable to its winged inhabitants - the aviary is home to raven condors.


A path leads through the aviary, bringing visitors within reach of birds, but at the same time does not disturb their quiet zones. The trail is lined with rich greenery, stone hills and wetlands, where birds feel at home. The aviary is accessible by two barrier-free entrances.

The elegant, light and airy aviary consists of a custom-designed load-bearing structure including a sophisticated system of columns and rods, based on micropiles. The supporting system is followed by seemingly levitating, almost invisible walls and roofing formed by a stainless steel braided net.
