What parents say
"Booking the capybara encounter was an easy process and the owners are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Worth every penny and all of the animals are well taken care of. The area is kept clean and you can tell they take immense pride in their work. I will recommend this to anyone and everyone of any age. The encounter allowed us to see capybaras up close and we were able to interact with them. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity and we plan to make more trips to visit with more friends/family."
