Best places: Zoos in Ecuador

Originally created as a wildlife rescue center, this zoo has a variety of mammals, birds & reptiles.

Charming open-air zoo featuring a range of exotic species amid rugged, mountainside terrain.

🫤 Well, there are lots of animals here you can see. However, many do not have a good amount of space and appear stressed. After much reflection and discussion, I feel like I probably won't ever enter another zoo like this. The entry fee that is paid is what supports the essential torture of some of th...

Zoo with a wildlife trail of native species including monkeys, tapirs & turtles, plus night safaris.

👍👍 Que lugar tan increíble!! Una caminata de 1 hora para ver los diferentes animales.. Los que más me sorprende es ver los leones, cocodrilos, y el jaguar aaa y ls tortugas de más de 190 años.. .. Tuvimos un guía comunitario muy amable.. Su servicio fue muy bueno y la propina voluntaria.. La entrada co...

👍👍 I really loved this zoo refuge. I learned that they except volunteers and I’m thinking to do so in the future. Highly recommend you visit and support this place.

😠 Very sad to see animals from the Savana in such small places. They don't belong here Baños is not an appropriate climate for lions and tigers!!! The space is way too small and the property is not in good condition. Very depressing. these animals are majestic and deserve more than their small sad cag...

😐 Pretty setting. Habitats could be cleaner and bigger for some of the animals. Reasonable price for entry and refreshments.

😠 I was very much looking forward to the visit as the name is "eco" zoo. I expected this place to be better than a normal zoo. I expected local animals that are helped here and return to nature after a while. I felt very sad when I saw the animals. The cages were far too small for size and amount of a...

👍👍 A very entertaining place, very well explained the work they do to rescue and return birds of prey to the environment. Super good to go with the family. I have been twice and you can really see the work they do in preparing birds to reintegrate into their natural environment. Congratulations for yo...

👍👍 Zoo with a large capacity and size to receive its visitors, it has 90 minutes of tours on very comfortable trails for walking. Animals very well cared for and with adequate nutrition. The tour begins at the reception office, once you have purchased your pass, which costs $4, a chiva (double-decker b...

👍👍 Muy bonito y agradable el lugar se los recomiendo

😠 Not recommended !! they do not comply with local legislation on wildlife protection since they offered a snake to us to take pictures for money. The monkeys seemed stressed... there are a lot of better places to visit in Tena than this one.

👍👍 Precious birds ... a unique and very natural experience ..... highly recommended for children ... I am amazed?

😐 I give it three stars because in my opinion there is still a lot to improve in its new place, which is only six months old from what they told us. Among the things is the ethical signage to find the park, it is very little, not to mention that there is only one sign in each direction of the route fo...

👍👍 The best zoo ever!!! We had the best time feeding the animals!!

👍👍 Super awesome to see them so close up!

👍👍 Super cool place with unique and interesting animals. A pleasant surprise to find a zoo in Vilcabamba!

👍👍 Un lugar maravilloso para quienes gustan de la naturaleza. Excelente labor de rescate de animales!
