The Centro de Crianza Arnaldo Tupiza is a tortoise conservatory dedicated to breeding these amazing animals and conserving their natural environment. Visitors will see tortoises large and small and get up close and personal with them. The center employs informative staff members who are more than happy to take visitors on a tour of the facilities, sharing fun facts on how tortoises are bred and released back into their natural environment.

There is also a boardwalk that connects the conservatory to the town (a 45 minute walk); visitors will be able to see iguanas, flamingos, and many other types of birds during the walk. The conservatory can be explored at no cost, though donations are welcome to help the cause.
