The zoorefugio is in 2 hectares of land and it has a quarantine area, a nutrition area, a clinic and the exhibitors of the wild life, in other side five people with experience work in the zoo. In the Amazon, the weather runs from brilliantly sunny to downright wet (it is the rainforest), so we recommend raingear and layering work clothes, also boots and a flashlight. Puyo is the heart of the Amazonia, there are a lot of plants and animals in the jungle, it is a tranquil and touristic city with friendly people, one hour from here is located Baños city, it is a touristic and beautiful place that you can visit in your free time.
