Bioparque Amaru Review

Very beautiful but can be very tired, especially if they come from the coast. Bring sunscreen and moisturizers.

Spectacular family experience.
Good contact with nature and great help from park guards.

It's amazing how much this park has advanced! Every time I visit I see something new, small or large.
The rescued animals are always well treated and fed, an example of Zoo

Wonderful experience, beautiful ecological work of Amaru, I congratulate you! The route is long but it is worth every step even under heavy rain like we had today!

A very nice and interesting place to go with the family

Really amazed at the animals at this zoo. There are so many! You can easily spend 2-3 hours walking around looking at the animals. and reading the information about each specific species. They also have parts that discuss human's impact on nature and the adverse effects we play on nature.

Many of the enclosures allow you to get very close to the animals. I was surprised by the open air bird sections! It's so cool!

Come early and be prepared for a hike!

This place is beautiful you have to walk to get to where the animals are but it is a fantastic experience

An excellent place, I definitely recommend to visit. Entrance fee for one adult is $ 6. $ 50 and $ 100 bills are not accepted. The parking lot next to the entrance offers excellent views of Cuenca, as the park is located on a mountain, 300 meters above the city. With large backpacks, they won't be allowed inside, with small ones everything is ok, but they will check their contents. This is not a zoo in the usual sense, but a trekking trail in the forest, uphill, along the way, enclosures with animals. So it's best to wear comfortable shoes and clothes. Some animals and birds without enclosures. The entire route will take about 2 hours (2.6 km, climb 100m, unpaved path). There are toilets and a cafe on the territory. There are places to rest along the way. After or during the rain, the trail will be slippery and muddy. Entrance staff can call a taxi back to town (metered ride is approximately $ 5 to Cuenca center). All in all, a great place to combine a walk in the forest and watching animals, birds, reptiles.

Very cool! the animals are very friendly, even the wild ones!

It is a good place to visit with friends or family,

An excellent place to visit as a family. My nephew loved it

Beautiful, you have a walk to lot

///

nice, that if you have to walk a lot

Very beautiful experience ... something that I will not forget

Interesting place. Took us over 3 hours to walk around the whole thing and see all the animals. On weekends they give talks (in Spanish). Definitely worth a visit. Wear good shoes.

Be clear that it is a BIO Park! It is a trail of 2.5KMs on Trail - Paths, ideal for exercise and learning. EYE with the clothes they wear, wear something comfortable and sun protection.

A nice place to admire and see rescued animals.

Amaru does a great job teaching them what is necessary to reintroduce the species to their natural habitat, however, it can be identified that if they lack financial support and as an initiative of the workers they sell key chains to raise funds.

I would ask all the people who visit Amaru to collaborate with this noble mission of the zoo that the more people go, the more they can keep ...

A very beautiful place. Perfect to go out with the family, it has a great variety of animals.

Look closely at pumas, lions, bears, the majestic condor and other beautiful animals that were rescued and cannot return to their wild homes. With your visit, you support taking care of these animals and you will see that it is a symbolic payment after seeing how much they eat. Before going, ask for the programmed "functions" and go to the time that you iterate most. I was while feeding the pumas, SPECTACULAR!

A nice experience in close contact with nature, recommended.

Their biggest attraction are the Bears and the lions.
It has several animal divisions.
The tour lasts approximately 3 hours and in the middle of the road has a shop and restaurant.

Beautiful park dedicated to the care of biodiversity. Great job taking care of the animals.

Very nice to visit with the family and learn more only the Flora and fauna

It has a renewed area of travel interactive animal habitats very nice is a good choice for the outdoors in family a weekend

Everything is really wonderful, see the magnificent creation of God ..

Excellent to all ages, beautiful view of Cuenca, beautiful big animals, guide to explain and show birds, the crazy idea that works of a only one line to visit all the zoo!

I did the whole tour without problems, do not get food where birds are my legs bitten me

The greatest zoo I have ever been, a good place to do some hiking meanwhile you enjoy the view and the place.

Nice zoo located on the side of the mountain, in a natural forested area. Very cool. Lots of animals, many of them rescued. Try the parrots cage, some will fly to you or sing with you!

It is beautiful, all in a very acceptable habitat, rescued in some way. He is a little tired but if he goes smoothly, enjoying does not feel very tired

A beautiful place, with a great view where you can see the city; that if they must be prepared because you have to climb several hills

Appalling. The entire infrastructure must be considerably improved, they cannot say "this zoo is different" and justify that there is not even two meters of cobblestones on the route, in addition there are no lights in the bathrooms and to top it off the grocery guard.

Wonderful little zoo. Involves hiking up a (sometimes challenging) dirt trail through mountain forest with nice animal exhibits. Some (parrots, macaws, monkeys) are quite interactive and most are impressive, with lots of rescued animals. Only $6 per person. Great views. As per usual in Cuenca, sun can burn quickly and afternoon rain can make things muddy.

Beautiful place. You must go prepared for a long walk.

Much mud, the ascent the car clogged me with the mud that had

One of the best zoo's if not the best I've ever been to. Great fun and interesting. :-)

Excellent experience, recommended for children from 7 years, you have to walk 2 hours 30 min approx.

I love seeing how it is not about any zoo that treats animals as exhibition animals, but that they are provided with a habitat, while collaborating so that human beings become aware of that sector to which we damage so much.

This zoo is amazing. I have never experienced such an amazing time in a zoo as I did here, been to some others abroad. Definitely bring comfortable clothes, and shoes as you have go up tons of stairs on certain areas. Wear sunscreen, bring water, or buy it at the kiosks.

Located in the City of Cuenca, a very cozy zoo to enjoy with family and friends, it is a place to go, lots of walking

The atmosphere is good and it is beautiful but the animals are not in very good condition and it hurt to see them like this

Very cool! Winding dirt paths tucked into the hilly forest (wear good footwear!). Animal enclosures are super close to path and the inhabitants are active and easy to see. Kids (9 and 5) never complained about the long, sometimes steep trail because the rewards around every bend were so worthwhile. You aren t allowed to bring in food and the options available are pretty limited, but decent.

Excellent park with open spaces for animals all natural environment

Very nice and picturesque, the animals very well cared for and the employees very friendly, helpful and well informed. Of course, prepare for a 3-hour walk along a rustic path with climbs, descents and bridges. Go well prepared with appropriate footwear, hat, water and a cane for people with some mobility problems. I do not recommend that they go with very old people or with mobility problems like walker or wheelchair due to the difficulty of the path.

Very nice zoo. Well organized and variety of animals with great care to respect their wild nature. Worth a visit

Beautiful place to go with the family and enjoy the wild flora and fauna.

It is very beautiful but they should improve one more pokito since I confused a poko the signs ..

Beautiful place and variety of animals ... a complete boldness

I am not a zoo lover but this one has an educational approach and wants to make the community aware of animals and pollution. When I went the entrance cost $ 6 per adult and $ 4 children. One way by taxi from the center of Cuenca $ 4. The tour is about 3 hours and they are pure trails. Not suitable for people with mobility difficulties.

I have known many zoos in the world, but this one is spectacular. Congratulations to all who built it and especially to those who keep the animals in excellent condition

Amazing zoo. So different to others zoos I've been to. Be prepared for a challenging walk!

It made me very expensive 6 dollars the entrance.

Very good place to go as a family 2 kilometers of walking to meet all kinds of animals

Simply spectacular. A walk that there is no way to get lost.
