Things to do
Bios Hill
Your travel notes
Lake boats and green walking paths offer different perspectives on subtropical nature at this Uruma attraction.
What to look out for
- Lake sightseeing among subtropical plants
- Water-buffalo carts and canoeing options
- A mix of walking, activities and breaks
Begin by looking from the water
Bios Hill combines lake sightseeing with walks through a subtropical setting. A boat trip gives a lower viewpoint on the plants and trees along the water, and makes a useful introduction to the grounds. On arrival, check that day’s reception and operating arrangements before deciding which experience to try first.
Leave room between activities
Options include water-buffalo cart rides, canoeing and play areas. Rather than fitting everything into one visit, choose a boat trip and a walk as the core of the day, then add an activity that suits your companions. Time spent watching light on the water or resting beneath the trees is part of the experience too.
