    Biospherians lived for one and a half years, the farm area where they grew their crops

    and the kitchen where they cooked their meals. Your guide will lead you through theairlock door into the wilderness areas of Biosphere 2. You will experience firsthand the

    environments of this engineering marvel. First you enter the tropical savanna. The trail

    system then travels along the 40-foot ocean cliff where you look down into the milliongallon tropical ocean. Moving down the trail, you descend into the lower savanna along

    the mangrove through the tropical thorn scrub and into the coastal fog desert. From the

    desert, you go into the technosphere. The technosphere is where mechanical systemscontrol the Biosphere 2 environments. You then descend through a tunnel into one of two

    lungs. The lungs are large geodesic domes that originally prevented Biosphere 2 from

    exploding or imploding. This is an amazing technological/futuristic experience.. 45minute transfer
