this tour with Soledad de Maciel
El Refugio de Potosi
Just a short drive
south of Zihuatanejo lies
El Refugio de Potosi,
a combination wildlife
rehabilitation center,
educational center and
refuge. Their primary
mission is twofold. To
educate locals and
tourists alike about
the incredible wildlife
and ecosystems that
make up this area, with
the hope knowledge will
facilitate awareness
and protection. The second
function is rescue and rehabilitation
of orphaned and injured wildlife with the goal
of reintroducing the animals back to their
habitats. The facility is privately owned and
funded by visitors and donations.
Open to the public, they have many animals and
birds on display so we may become more familiar
with our seldom seen wild neighbors. A butterfly
house, hummingbird feeding station and hands on
displays invite curious
minds. Of Special interest
is a Sperm Whale skeleton
collected on a local beach.
At 18 meters it is
believed to be the largest
on display in the world
new birding trail bordering a lagoon and forest
Under construction is a
habitat allowing a safe
environment to observe the
incredible array of local
birds.
Be sure not to miss climbing
50ft observation tower giving
a dazzling overview of this
magnificent area.
