    Zoo Bioparque Amaru in Cuenca, Ecuador, offers visitors an opportunity to see various native and exotic animals in a natural setting. The zoo is located on a hillside, providing picturesque views of the surrounding area. Many visitors appreciate the focus on conservation and the rescue efforts for injured or endangered animals.

    The zoo houses a diverse collection of species, including big cats, bears, monkeys, birds, and reptiles. Guests often highlight the chance to see condors, which are significant to Ecuadorian culture. The layout allows for close observation of the animals, though some enclosures may feel small to some visitors.

    While many enjoy the natural, rustic atmosphere, others find the terrain challenging due to steep paths and uneven surfaces. It's advisable to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a fair amount of walking. The zoo's location at a high altitude may also require some acclimatization for some visitors.

    Staff members are generally described as friendly and knowledgeable, though more frequent guided tours or informational sessions could enhance the experience. Some visitors note that certain areas of the zoo could benefit from improved maintenance and cleanliness.

    The entrance fee is considered reasonable by most, offering good value for the experience. However, some visitors suggest bringing your own food and water, as on-site options may be limited.

    Overall, Zoo Bioparque Amaru provides an educational and enjoyable experience for those interested in wildlife, particularly in the context of Ecuadorian biodiversity and conservation efforts. While it may not have all the amenities of larger, more modernized zoos, it offers a more intimate and natural animal viewing experience.
