    Very small but worth the visit. Love the option to touch some of the animals. It is interesting that they only capture and release. If they aren’t able to release they find the animals new home. Of course it is all a non profit organization so donations are appreciated.

    This is a very loveless place, the hold rabbits on iron grid, they have no space. It is really bad. Everything is dirty and they don't care of the animals. The price for foreign people is 4.50 for adults.

    This is a wild animal refuge. They have a bunch of snakes some of which are not native to Panama but are gifts as the guide says. You get a guide that explains all in Spanish with very little English available. All in all it is a nice little zoo to visit and worth the walk from the center of El Valle

    Although this is a locally run capture and release facility which is highly appreciate some of the cages, especially the one for the birds are way too small. I think you need to talk Spanish to truly appreciate the work of the caretakers! Variety of snakes that are on exhibit are very interesting.

    The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer every question my sons asked. He was very patient and gave them all the information they desired. They even allowed us to hold one of the pythons. This place focuses on rehabilitation and rereleasing animals, which makes it unique from visiting a zoo.

    Place charges non nationals $4.50 per person. We were only there 10 minutes as it appeared half closed as there was building work ongoing and there was very little to see. Very little information was displayed about the animals and so we didn't know whether any of the animals were due to be released into the wild or not. We were not offered a guide.

    This place is an interesting experience if you speak Spanish fluently. If not, don't bother going. You'll see a couple of animals in cages which are way too small and dirty. Only the snakes have signs. The saddest part were the rabbits in extremely filthy conditions.

    This is a rescue and rehabilitation reptile center. It's a little difficult to find, but once inside, you will find a nice little outdoor facility. You will find several varieties of snakes in aquariums and the local guide there will give you information on the center and the reptiles they have. $4 the entrance.

    Worth the trip, even if only to support the work of the sanctuary. I visited when they seemed a little low on staff/volunteers, so there wasn’t much explanation apart from the signs.

    Very interesting snd the young man guiding us through was great

  • 5/5 lukebeadgcf 1 year ago on Google • 43 reviews
    Agree with other reviewers that the animals should have more space. This is a rescue center with a mission to protect animals that can’t return to the wild. The guides are friendly, knowledgeable, and unpretentious. You also feel that they care about the well-being of animals and discouraging people from taking certain animals as pets.

  • 5/5 Jesse A. 4 years ago on Google • 23 reviews
    We had so much fun here! It is super worth the trip. I think you may need to bring a Spanish speaker with you to understand the tour, but maybe they have an English speaker there that we didn't meet.

  • 5/5 GoGoTaxi O. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to the Valle de Antón with my brother and his family and we stopped by the Serpentario Maravillas Tropicales. They help wounded animals and then take them back to the wild. But some of them get to stay for the survival issues. We learn a lot about some local species. I never held a snake in my hand until this trip… I met Lola, the Boa constrictor. Her history makes me so sad and I get to appreciate a beautiful specimen. Her owner got married and her husband made her give Lola up because it was him or Lola. Jirk! Luckily she took her to this great little place and that's her new home. She was so soft and meek 🐍

  • 2/5 Sue S. 1 year ago on Google
    Doing good things for snakes and turtle rescue. But.... Not kind or humane to the mammals (shockingly horrible maintenance for the rabbits) and the birds. Disappointing. Cleaning cages and throwing some greens doesn't cost anything. You need to better stewards of the caged animals.
