Bubalcó — Attraction in Municipio de Allen

Complete animal abuse. It's really sad because so many small zoos like this still exist all over the world and are unregulated. In theory, some zoos could be beneficial if the animals were indeed rescued and/or there were conservation programs enacted but this is not one of those cases.

When I visited, it was in the middle of winter (30°F) and of course all the animals have tiny shelters where they can sleep at night but they are very small and dark. Naturally, the animals need sunlight and outdoor time so they're outside shivering and if they're lucky to be with others, huddling to keep warm.

The enclosures are small and have no stimulation or proper environmental foilage or anything. The birdcages were tiny and only had two branches for the birds to roost on.

Such a beautiful place! I loved the personal touch; you can really tell that they care deeply for the animals. They put so much work and love into each one. Additionally, they know all of their animals’ names, their stories about how they arrived there, and their individual behaviors.

I am really happy that I visited zoo today back on Saturday, April 22, 2017!

It was highly recommended and it was also listed on the tourist map all the way from Neuquen Capital City of Argentina.

This zoo is fairly new and has been open for the past seven (7) years.

I also think that the selection of animals are very nice to see as you can see in the pictures that I have provided on Google.

I also want to personally thank Andrea Soriano for providing me with a Fantastic Tour and for allowing me to feed Rosalie the Parrot.

If you are ever in the area of Rio Negro, Argentina then please come and visit the Bubalco Zoo because it is well worth it.
