Rio de Janeiro is set to open the continent’s largest aquarium in early November.
The immense aquarium called AquaRio is a five-story structure built in 26,000 square meters. South America’s largest aquarium has 28 tanks filled with 4.5 million liters of water and will house some 8,000 marine animals from 350 species.
One of the main attractions of AquaRio is a walk-in tunnel at the bottom of a large tank which will have around 40 sharks. The Aquarium will also have a museum and a research center dedicated to endangered marine species. AquaRio will open on November 9th and is expected to have over 1 million visitors in the first year.
