The Ataria Interpretation Center is a unique destination for those interested in natural history. Located in the Salburua wetland, a Ramsar site, it offers visitors a chance to explore an important wetland habitat in the Basque Autonomous Community. This location is not only a significant green belt on the eastern outskirts of the city of Vitoria, but also a site of great ecological importance.

Understanding the Value of Wetlands at Ataria

Ataria is more than just a museum; it's a showcase of the value of wetlands, which are classified as class 1 of the Habitats of Interest of the European Community. Visitors can learn about the importance of biodiversity in Vitoria's natural heritage, and gain a deeper understanding of the ecological significance of these habitats.

Observing the Wetland from Ataria's Terrace

One of the highlights of a visit to the Ataria Interpretation Center is the cantilevered observation terrace. This 19.2-meter-long structure allows visitors to observe the wetland in all its glory. The enclosed terrace, built with laminated wood sheeting and a framework of steel bars, offers a unique perspective of the surrounding landscape.
