Skip the sterile enclosures of typical zoos. This place functions as a rehabilitation center for animals injured or orphaned in the wild. You walk through natural, forested paths to see jaguars, tapirs, and toucans in spaces that actually resemble their habitats. Go early in the morning to catch the cats when they are active. It takes about two hours to walk the grounds, and the muddy paths are part of the raw, unfiltered vibe.
