Did you know that 16 July is World Snake Day?

This day raises awareness of the crucial role that these reptiles play in our ecosystems. While many people have a phobia of snakes, it’s impossible to deny that they are truly incredible animals.

PortAventura World is home to two huge snake-themed attractions that whip visitors around in a thrilling, adrenaline-inducing experience: Cobra Imperial and Serpiente Emplumada. Keep reading to learn more and dare to tame them!

Cobra Imperial: the family-friendly snake

The first of PortAventura World’s snake-themed rides is located in Imperial China.

Cobra Imperial is an exciting carousel-type ride that will send you and your family for a spin. While the minimum height for riding is 1.30 metres, shorter PortAdventurers can still ride the snake if they are accompanied by an adult. This means that no one needs to be left watching from the side!

By riding this attraction, younger visitors will learn —possibly for the first time in their lives— what an adrenaline rush feels like. It will also give them a flavour of the wonders that are waiting to be discovered in the world of imagination and attractions that is PortAventura World.

Soar through the skies with Serpiente Emplumada!

Another popular snake-themed ride is Serpiente Emplumada, which is located in the México area.

This crazy five-headed snake whisks those who ride it through the air as part of a crazy, fun-filled Mayan ritual.

By riding Serpiente Emplumada with your friends or family, you’ll experience the creature’s incredible force while creating amazing memories to last a lifetime. Think you’ll be able to charm it before it’s too late?
