The zoo at our hotel was really incredible. There were 22 species in total including jaguar, ocelot - a smaller cat, cabybara - world's largest rodent, cayman, 4 types of monkeys - red howler, brown Capuchin, bare eared squirrel, white belly spider, Scarlet macaw, parrot, tiger heron, collared peccory, little chachalaca, blue and yellow macaw and a couple others. What was even more amazing was that we saw 2 varieties of monkeys outside the cages too. There was a biologist who guided a tour in Portuguese. A nice young girl translated for us into English. The tour was fantastic and the zoo was super well kept. In fact it's even supported by ibama - the local animal protection agency. We were really impressed by the whole place, especially since it was a hotel zoo.
