Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My brother and I visited this lovely Bioparque. The public part of the park is a zoo with jaguars, monkeys, otters, and other South American mammals as well as lovely birds. These are animals that were rescued and taken to the park for rehab. After their rehab from injuries the animals are released to the wild. If the animals can’t survive in the wild they are put in the zoo. The private part of the park is where veterinary services are performed, and the animals are nursed back to health.
Bird watching around the grounds was fun, and we saw many beautiful birds. We enjoyed it so much we returned the next day. The staff, like so many of the people we met in Colombia were friendly and accommodating. They are passionate about their work and about the environment. Everyone we interacted with was cordial, from the director to the man running the cafe. A special thank you for Natali who helped us see the birds.
If we return to this area we will revisit this park.

Apparently all of the animals here are found here in the Llanero region of Colombia. Utterly amazing. Different varieties of Toucans that seem to want to see you as much as you do them. And huge armadillos. Aren't they supposed to be little?! Plus Jaguars, anacondas and dozens of other extraordinary beasts.
Amazing watching the wild monkeys playing with the captive monkeys and throwing seeds, fruits and leaves to them!
One slight disappointment was that the lake (which is a primary attraction) had been drained for cleaning. Imagine how impressed I was with the girl working in the zoo who flogged me a bag of fish food to supposedly feed to the fish... Sadly I never did find her or I would have had some choice words that she would certainly have understood!

This was literally the best zoo i ever went to. Its close to the forest which keeps the animals in there natural habitat. A huge lagoon in the middle contains a flock of beautiful birds. Parque Los Ocarros also serves as a sanctuary for endangered animals. Which means that this zoo is home to animals you could only see in this zoo! Animals indigenous to the Amazons are exclusive to this one of a kind trip of a lifetime zoo.

It is a nice place to visit when in Villavicencio, you can see unique animal species like the ocarros, I didn’t know they even existed. Also, and most importantly the park is in charge of preservation and reproduction of the species.
It is good fun for kids of all ages.

Comparing to the zoo in Cali, Colombia this place is just a nice little park with some animals. The only real attraction that it should have is the Armadillo and the only had one, and it they told me it sleeps all day. Supposedly they had another one but i never saw it. Tha good thing this park has is that there are guides that explain to you about the animals for free in each station.

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.

This is a a fairly large bioparque where visitors can see wildlife from the various regions in Colombia. Some are so unique you will not be able to view them anywhere else in the world. There is even plant life throughout the park indigenous to the region and country so that is an extra bonus. You can even hire a guide, usually a local youth that will explain everything to you and even give you stories behind the animals. Well worth the effort in going.

It's an excellent place for knowing endemic species, most of them from colombian eastland, you can observe anacondas, anteaters, giant armadillos, tapirs, among others.
Entrance cost around 5 dollars (fifteen thousand colombian pesos), the biopark is located between Villavicencio and Restrepo, you can go there in taxi, it cost around 3,5 dollars (ten thousand colombian pesos), from villavicencio to biopark takes 15 minutes in car.

The first thing you need to know is that it is not a zoo, it´s a biopark. This means their main purpose is the conservation and reintroduction of rescued animals to their native environment. They also seeks to sensitize and raise awareness among people about the importance of preserving and conserving natural resources, and to guide them towards an adequate management of them. In this way, visitors can enjoy two hours of walking through open paths surrounded by the flora of the Orinoquia, and will be able to appreciate up close the fauna of the region in different exhibitions. It is pretty close from the city of Villavicencio (taxi can cost +/- $6.000 pesos from downtown and can be taken again at the exit), bring mosquito repellent, cap, and sunblock. Refreshments can be get there.
