Luzes Selvagens (Wild Lights)

Luzes Selvagens (Wild Lights) is a special evening event at Santo Inácio Zoo, presenting the zoo grounds after dark. The initiative transforms the animal park into an illuminated landscape, featuring large-scale figures of various animals. This particular weekend, from October 17th to October 18th, 2026, the event incorporates a "Día de los Muertos" theme, adding a specific cultural focus to the nocturnal display.

Visitors can expect a family-oriented atmosphere as they explore the zoo's pathways, guided by the glow of the light installations. The event is designed for all ages, offering a distinct perspective on the zoo environment. The Santo Inácio Zoo, located south of the Douro River, provides an expansive outdoor setting for the illuminated displays.

Tickets are required for entry to Luzes Selvagens. The Santo Inácio Zoo is accessible by car, with parking available, and can also be reached via public transport routes from Porto city centre. The event is suitable for families with children.
