Guira Oga Animal Park
Authored By:
After an early morning of travel, we arrived to Iguazú. Iguazú is a town in the north east of Argentina, in the Misiones Province, sandwiched between Paraguay and Brazil.
We enjoyed a delicious lunch and then headed to Guira Oga, a wild animal refuge. We saw toucans, owls, parrots, sloths, monkeys and a slew of other animals. Our guide explained that all animals have been rescued from vulnerable or illegal situations and are if they are able, will be released back into the wild. We all enjoyed breathing in some fresh air and observing the animals at play!
