Cerro Pan de Azúcar Native Fauna and Flora Breeding Station, Nature park in Piriápolis, Uruguay.
Description
Cerro Pan de Azúcar Breeding Station is a nature park at the base of Pan de Azúcar hill, where around 250 animals representing about 53 native species live together. Walking trails wind through different natural habitats across the expansive grounds.
History
The park started in 1980 through the work of a local mayor and a naturalist who shared a vision. They transformed an abandoned quarry site into this sanctuary for native animals.
Culture
The breeding station works to help people understand which animals and plants belong to this region. Visitors walk the trails and experience the natural spaces where these creatures live today.
Practical
The grounds are open daily with clearly marked pathways throughout the area. Early morning visits offer the best chance to observe animals when they are most active and the setting is quietest.
Did you know?
The facility houses a dedicated space for multiple snake species that are normally hidden and difficult to spot in the wild. Visitors can observe these reptiles up close in a controlled setting.
