Disney’s Animal Kingdom is expanding its attractions with a new themed area that focuses on the tropical Americas. The new area, named “Pueblo Esperanza,” will cover an impressive 11 hectares and will highlight the natural and cultural aspects of the tropics. Visitors can look forward to a unique Indiana Jones adventure set in a newly discovered Mayan temple.
Pueblo Esperanza: A New Highlight at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
“Pueblo Esperanza” will offer an immersive environment inspired by the rich flora and fauna of the tropical Americas. Construction of the new area is set to begin later this year, as announced by Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Experiences, during the “Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase” at the D23 Expo. Spanning 11 hectares, this new area will be one of the larger expansions of the park, featuring various attractions and dining options.
Indiana Jones Returns: A Unique Adventure
The centerpiece of “Pueblo Esperanza” will be a new Indiana Jones experience, distinct from any other attractions featuring the famous archaeologist. In this new adventure, visitors will have the chance to explore a perfectly preserved Mayan temple discovered by Indiana Jones. The journey takes guests deep into the temple as they search for a mythical creature. The details of this adventure remain intriguing, especially the question of whether snakes will be part of the experience.
Culinary Highlight: The Hacienda
In addition to the new Indiana Jones attraction, “Pueblo Esperanza” will feature one of the largest quick-service restaurants in Walt Disney World Resort. The “Hacienda” will be a central element of the new area, offering a wide range of dishes inspired by the culture and cuisine of the tropical Americas.
With the opening of “Pueblo Esperanza” and the new Indiana Jones experience, Disney’s Animal Kingdom is marking another milestone in its development as a leading theme park, offering visitors worldwide a new and fascinating attraction not to be missed.
