Güirá Oga — Attraction in Puerto Iguazú

Waste of money unless you speak Spanish. I messaged a month ago to request an English tour and offered to pay more. Received absolutely no message back. But yet, here on Google I read that others had English speaking guides.

It reminds me of an older zoo, where some of the cages are rather small for their animals and the ocelot was pacing (possibly from boredom).

What a way to ruin our last morning in Iguazu. I would have done better to visit the National park again. I have already warned others in the industry not to bother.

On the way out, I explained that I learned nothing as it was only in Spanish. The guy at the gate apologized and offered me a refund. I gave him 1/2 back and said to keep it as a donation, although I have no clue what we’re donating to. He told me that the next day there would be the first tour in English but that doesn’t help us because we’re leaving.

And trying to coordinate via WhatsApp is useless as they only send the same photo back to you that says hours. Not very...

Got the 2.30 tour, no English spoken on tour, but some staff at entrance speak a little, it cost 135,00 no info in anything but Spanish, staff passionate about the Animals. had to wait 40 mins as previous tour was full, small shop with cold soft drinks and ok toilets.5 to 10 min drive in the trailer ( fully air-conditioned ie no roof!) Take you to the centre, where they talk about the place and the Animals, but not in English. No info in English large mesh enclosure (you outside) look at inmates try to take photos through the mesh... Lots of great birds and animals, the walk is about 450 m long flat and safe then back in the trailer about 1 hour tour, I was the last as I could not understand the guide so just let her go and I stayed back a looked and took some photos,it was hot humid and overcast but path is good.worth the time and your entrance money goes to the upkeep. Locals pay 70,000 foreign let's pay more have to show drivers licence. I enjoyed it and think...

I rarely leave a review, but thought it was important to this time as I nearly didn't go after reading the bad reviews that some people had left here and this place relies on visitors for funding. So in a nutshell: I had a guide who spoke English, he was knowledgeable and friendly. This place is deffo not a zoo and you only see some of the animals, mostly the ones that are not going to be released because they wouldn't survive for very long (because they're domesticated, or they needed to learn how to survive with their parents who died, or they're crippled). It was interesting to learn about the work they do and how they try to keep things interesting for the animals by enriching their environment as much as possible, also to learn about the strategies they have to release babies that result from some...
