    (Translated by Google) Hello everyone, for those who are thinking of visiting the park, know that it is closed. Today we went to the place and they told us that they don't know when they will open again. There is no info on the park page. (Original) Hola a todos, para los que están pensando visitar el parque, sepan que se encuentra cerrado. Hoy fuimos hasta el lugar y nos comentaron que no saben cuándo volverán a abrir.

    Went here on a Friday afternoon. It was a short walk done in a couple of hours. We saw monkeys, tigers, otters, snakes, turtles, capybaras, etc. Good place for kids to explore. Was not very full when we went. They have a restaurant on site.

    In general, for all animals, the cages and their habitats seem like barely enough space. It looked more like a jail than a proper habitat for some of them. The cages for the monkeys was too small. They were aggressive and seemed stressed. Also the juguar and puma cages were also very small and one of them seemed very stressed. It would be better to have half the number of animals in the amount of space they have there. Everywhere there are signs with "don't knock on the glass", but people are knocking on the glass. There is nobody to tell them not to. There were even kids annoying the bats with a bottle, and there was no staff at all to correct them. The only good part of this parc for me was that they rescue animals. Other than that, I didn't really like it

    It's recovering from a hard time due to roadblocks on the way Bta - V/cio but their priority was the animal's wellbeing; it's worth giving'em a hand.

  • 5/5 Diego Hernán Marulanda O. 5 months ago on Google • 170 reviews
    A marvelous place located 20 minutes away from Villavicencio's downtown. This park has multiple of the most iconic natural species from this part of Colombia, the cover is a bargain for everything you can see at this park. Highly recommended for couples, family groups or even groups or friends who want to chill out while observing lovely animals.

  • 5/5 Juan Pablo Paz G. 5 years ago on Google • 69 reviews
    We had a lovely family time here. The park is big enough to spend a day in it, we enjoyed the sight of all animals and the walk around the lake. We rented a water bike for a ride around the lake and watch ducks and fishes following the water bike, don't forget to buy fish food before riding!. Lunch menu was not cheap but we asked for an "ejecutivo" Dish which was a little more affordable. If the parking lot is full, there are other parking lots around and the fee is for the full day.

    (Translated by Google) It is an excellent place, however it is not yet open to the public so that they do not come, since there is no service neither during the week nor on the weekend and they do not know when they will open again.

    (Translated by Google) Animals of the llanera region, unique species that are sometimes mistreated in captivity, sick, abandoned or injured and there they recover them, adopt them and try to make them return to their natural habitat, some if ... others do not succeed, but visiting them is quite a show👍☺️ A delight of family and children especially plan😎🥳👧 (Original) Animales de la región llanera, especies únicas que en ocasiones son maltratadas en cautiverio, enfermas, abandonadas o accidentadas y allí las recuperan, las adoptan y tratan de hacer que vuelvan a su habitad natural, unos si....otros no lo logran, pero visitarlos es todo un espectáculo👍☺️ Un deleite de plan familia y niños especialmente😎🥳👧

    (Translated by Google) When we can go out again to walk through Colombia and the world, this is a very good place to visit in the department of goal. Here on a tour of about two or three hours you can see many of the native species of the eastern plains. Starting with the Ocarro, animal from which the park takes its name. It is a giant armadillo that coexists very close to other species such as snakes, cats, monkeys, fish, crocodiles, deer, chigüiros, tapirs and spectacled bears, among many others. A place worth visiting in Villavicencio. (Original) Cuando podamos volver a salir a pasear por Colombia y el mundo, este es un muy buen sitio pasa conocer en el departamento del meta. Aquí en un recorrido de unas dos o tres horas puede conocer muchas de las especies nativas de los llanos orientales. Empezando por el Ocarro, animal del cual toma nombre el parque. Es un armadillo gigante que convive muy cerca de otras especies como serpientes, felinos, monos, peces, cocodrilos, venados, chigüiros, dantas y osos de anteojos entre muchos otros. Un lugar que vale la pena visitar en Villavicencio.

    Good intentions but fall too short. The enclosures are way to small and the animals display disturbed behaviour

  • 2/5 Andres O. 11 months ago on Google
    Is not actually a bio-park... is a zoo. On this behalf, the zoo is going down... things broken.. animals in super small cages, kinda depressing.

  • 4/5 François-Olivier D. 2 years ago on Google
    A very interesting well maintained zoo with a great variety of all sorts of animals from Colombia. The only bad thing is that some monkey cages are too small and drive the animals mad.

  • 4/5 Willy M. 1 year ago on Google
    I waited 20 mins in line because I was with an elder, otherwise it would have been an hour. Nice place, though.

  • 5/5 Delly Yadira J. 2 years ago on Google
    It is beautiful place to see a lot of animals and have a nice and peaceful walk . We really liked to see the animals like the turtles, birds monkeys, snakes, pumas and fish. The ottre was our favorite animal. We recommend to wear comfortable shoes and clothes to have a pleasant experience. The cost of the ticket is 15.000 thousand Colombian pesos which is like 4 dollars. This place is worth it to explore.
