bosque da ciência印象
-
A great place to stroll with the kids. A small path, but it shows the animals found in the Amazon region. Some land animals are free in the woods, like monkeys, capybaras and sloth bear.

Used as a research station for the INPA (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisa daAmazônia), this slice of tropical forest is home to a great diversity offlora and fauna. Some highlights include manatee tanks, caiman ponds, amuseum, a botanical garden with an orchidarium, and nature trails. It's agreat place for a walk in the shade.

Lack of information and the very poor number of busesIt could have more buses driver and taxi driver who could speak English

Bosque da Ciência, better known as INPA to locals, is a big area full of animals. Some, like the manatee, giant otter and caimans have fairly small enclosures. However, it is still great to be able to get a good view of especially manatees, who are notoriously hard to spot in the wild.Others, notably birds, agoutis and various species of monkeys roam around freely in the jungle and are great fun to spot and, if you're as lucky as we were (which seems pretty likely), frolic, play and tease each others. At some bend of the trilha suspensa (suspended trail), we stayed for over half an hour, watching two species of monkeys chase, swing and jump on top of each other, around little caring agoutis. Excellent stuff. There's plenty of shade, ice creams and other snacks are affordable and if you take your time, you can easily spend half a day or longer. And at just 5 reais, there's really no excuse not to come out here. Recommended!

This is an enjoyable park, part of the National Institute for Research of Amazonia. Convenient to the city and shopping centers, it has a wide range of rain forest plants and some animals, to get an idea of the forest without leaving town. Entrance fee was R$5.00.We saw Amazonian manatees, giant otters and caimans in enclosures and giant Amazonian turtles and cutias -- rabbit sized rodents -- ranging more or less free. Many of the interesting plants are labeled in Portuguese and English, and explanatory notes on the animals appear in both languages.This is a self-guided tour over well marked but meandering paths. The park is not small and the topography is varied, so between the distances and the heat, it can be quite a workout: plan accordingly. Well worth a visit, though.

I love these creatures. Since seeing them in Florida I had to see the Brazilian ones! and they were great!

Firstly, some things need to be cleared up. 1.There are no capivara at this park. The rodents that some people have described here in other reviews are actually agouti - NOT capivara. 2. The park i easy to find if you take a taxi. Do not bother with the bus, as it is almost impossible to get there this way. Too confusing.The park itself is lovely, and we saw some amazing animals that we either sa in the Amazon from a distance, or missed completely. One of the manatee tanks had a lot of excrement in it though, which seemed pretty gross, so the park should get on top of that. But check out the photos of the sloth! It came down to poop (they only do this once every week) - so we were really lucky. The science centre was interesting and there are a few different trails you can follow around, seeing toucans, and caiman and turtles etc. One thing - make sure you DO NOT use the taxi company based outside the park. They tried to rip us off. Ask the park to call you a taxi before you leave.

Whilst I was excited to see some manatees, I was less thrilled to see the small tanks and cages where some of the beasts of the Amazon are kept here. Giant Otters and turtles can be found here, and the paths aren't too long to walk around. You can hear the nearby roads at all times, but it almost succeeds in bringing the wild into the middle of the city and it's cheap (R$5).Ice creams are good but the park could be much better. There is a small museum designed to educate about the fauna of the region and the problems they face.

In town museum where you can learn a bit about what the region has to offer. A quick visit will suffice.

beautiful trees and many animals you can encounter there (like aligators)... definately worth of seeing :)
