Excellent place only for people who like to walk a lot
This place allowed me to raise awareness about the indiscriminate felling of trees and consequently the damage to the habitat of many species. Also like the illegal traffic of animals and how this zoo protects and conserves those who have been rescued.
The best zoo in Cuenca go with provision of about 4 hours to be able to know it completely, see the bird show
Excellent place to meet different species. I found it very educational that in certain places they promote recycling and the importance of not cutting trees and not adopting animals that are not domestic in the houses
Great place. Lots of animals to see. Quite a hike for the loop along the hillside's dirt trail. Can be wet and muddy in places. Wear good shoes. Be prepared, there is no food allowed in the park, only water. Also only one bathroom that we encountered. Check in whatever food you have at the entrance.
Excellent option to walk. It's about three hours walking so wear comfortable clothes and get ready to exercise!
Excellent zoo. Good variety of animals and above all an organization that promotes values regarding the awareness of animal life with guides that explain about the rescue of species and care for their environment. Compared to the Quito Zoo, I consider it infinitely superior in all aspects. Recommended for visiting with children.
The arrival for the tourist should be by taxi because it is a little away from the city.
A lot of walking
But beautiful
A very nice place and a better life for those animals rescued !!!
I still do not know we will go today and after that I will value it with the stars that will make it
Very good attention as the place for a family afternoon
Difficult trails and some animals are hard to find, but the overall experience is worth it.
Excellent park, beautiful beautiful animals and good care
The route is very natural. Although there is a little more explanation about animals
Ok, although he lacks creativity but they do their job efficiently
Nice place to see rescue trafficked and abandoned animals. They are doing a great job.
Wonderful place, excellent care and variety of animals, recommended.
Great place, the animals are healthy and well cared for. You can get really close to them, and there is a lot of variety.
Be ready to hike, but it is worth the effort. All animals looked healthy and happy, but the peacock is a bit over-protective of his space.
Beautiful zoo. There is a lot of variety of animals.
The route is long, but it is worth doing. Without a doubt, Cuenca is not only a beautiful city, its zoo is wonderful.
Go with comfortable clothes, suitable shoes and a cap.
Beautiful place ... many animals rescued and work in ecological consciousness
Excellent place of recreation and knowledge of endangered species d extinction
Close up view of animals with large spacious enclosures. It is a hike so wear good shoes and bring some water
Is very pretty! It seemed to me a better zoo than the one in Guayaquil. I would visit him again. @emilianasugaaa
It is a high quality Zoo, its animals are well cared for and it is a very interesting space for environmental education. I recommend you visit it.
Excellent place to go hiking ... don't forget to go with comfortable clothes and ideal footwear for mountain ... the best place to see animals in good conditions for them ...
The best and most attractive of all the zoo you have visited, 100% recommended
A different and dinamic zoo experience, wildlife in a wild setting full of adventure and discovery for all A wonderful conservation, research, rescue and educational center!
An unforgettable experience! They are two hours long, so you have to be very well equipped. A fantastic place, where you can enjoy nature in all its splendor.
Beautiful place. I appreciate the effort that managers make to keep it in good condition for animals and species and obviously for visitors. Prices are affordable. Some park rangers were friendly and cordial. The safety of visitors is guaranteed although there are not many species that can threaten man. Parking is convenient, although it is still only a free space. Recommended site.
Excellent place, very educational with very friendly guides, very well cared for and treated pets, recommendation: go with hats, protect solar and sport shoes
It is very nice the zoo especially its animals the only bad thing is the food is too expensive the tour is very long and a little tired it is recommended to bring shoes for walking and water
Great variety of animals, a more natural surrounding for them, however, the walking paths are challenging and not handicap friendly and the animal enclosures are not as well maintained with some feeling of fright (for example as you go through the exhibit for snakes I was afraid of encountering one that had escaped its place)
A beautiful and enormous beautiful place the animals very well cared for sun that ai is tired at least 3 hours of walk.
A beautiful place to visit as a family, especially with children. Be careful with the elderly or with inconveniences to walk a tour of more than 4 hours
A beautiful place to enjoy nature, together with friends or family.
Ideal to get out of the routine and visit animals that now live better than before.
Very gratifying! The best time to go is to start the tour at 10:00 am. It's three hours of comforting fun.
Very nice, the entrance is $ 6 and for children and people after age 65 is $ 4. The only bad thing is that some climbs are a bit difficult, not suitable for old people. The animals are super well cared for and there is great variety
Beautiful place, located on the slopes of Cuenca. More than 2 hours of fun knowing flora and fauna very closely. Signposted trails, attentive park guides and lots of information. Reasonably comfortable price, recommended to wear a cap, water, shoes for rocky terrain.
A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE TO DO HIKING and TOURISM at the same time eye go with warm sportswear, lots of water and above all. SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE, EXCELLENT ZOO AMARU
It is a very nice experience and it is an excellent place to spend with the family and enjoy
Must be ready to hike a bit when you get there. Animals being able to roam, and allowing us to go into some of the animal habitats was the most amazing experience ever in a zoo.
I recommend very beautiful all the best zoo I've seen in Ecuador
Like being in the jungle. Surrounded by nature and the exhibits feel like you are really looking at the animals in their natural surroundings. Very reasonable entry fee also. And a place to get lunch there.
I do not recommend because there is no suitable parking for Vans or access for the disabled, the route is steep and not suitable for adults and the road with muddy slippery puddles of water in terrible condition.
It is very nice and the lions and other animals, they are very well cared ... But the roads and some ecosystems, without losing the natural concept, could have them more arranged.
Ample place, considering in its management the importance of animal welfare, environmental education and research, there are several well-kept rescued animals
Very nice but you should work more on what is the re-establishment of wildlife to its ecosystems and plan relief campaigns for captive birds that are sold in pet stores and city markets and raise awareness of love of nature
Ideal for those who like nature and animals .. beautiful location, incredible panoramic view of the basin, facilities in good condition, well cared for animals, monkeys are mischievous in the cafeteria, wear clothes according to hiking, especially sports shoes
The trails are challenging ... There is a lot of variety of animals in the zoo
