点评:El Nispero Zoo is a small collection run on a shoestring budget. The animals are mostly rescued animals (orphaned, injured, unsuitable rehomed pets) that cannot be released.
Where rehabilitation and re-release is possible this is the aim.
The staff are caring, and do the best they can to provide a calm and safe environment for their animals. If you watch the interactions between the animals and staff you can the kindness of the staff and the trust of the animals.
I live in El Valle and see changes and improvements regularly.
The zoos costs are subsidized through the sale of plants and eggs, and donations are gratefully received.
It provides a great opportunity to see some of the native wildlife up close, and is a wonderful resource for local and visiting school parties.
The staff are working towards improving educational facilities and are adding animal enrichment into the daily routine.
I highly recommend visiting this collection, but do not expect the high standards of wealthy north American and European zoos.

工作人员充满爱心,竭尽全力为动物们营造一个宁静且安全的环境。只要观察一下动物与工作人员之间的互动,便能感受到工作人员的善意以及动物们对他们的信任。我住在埃尔瓦莱,经常能看到这里发生的变化与改进。
动物园的运营费用通过出售植物和鸡蛋来补贴,我们也非常欢迎各位的捐赠。
这里是近距离观察本地野生动物的绝佳场所,对本地及来访的学校团体来说也是一个极好的教学资源。
工作人员正致力于改善教育设施,并将各种动物丰容措施纳入日常管理中。
我极力推荐大家来参观这个动物园。但别指望能见到北美和欧洲那些富裕地区动物园的高标准服务。
