More a conservation center than a zoo, the excellent El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center was created in conjunction with the Houston Zoo to save amphibians from a deadly virus currently threatening them around the world. Run by a dedicated team of conservationists, the center exhibits native Panamanian species and, in particular, the golden frog.
The research area is private and devoted to quarantine, treatment and captive breeding efforts. It is located in the grounds of El Níspero.
