Located about five minutes from the center of Puyo, Omaere Park is a relatively new addition to the area that proves to be a culturally enriching experience. The park contains an impressive amount of Flora, about 15.6 hectares, of which five are natural forest that has never experienced human interaction. The park also concentrates on raising awareness of indigenous groups of the area. In the park there are reconstructions of native homes. There is also an area which explains how many plants are traditionally used in the cultures of the area. There are guided walks which last 1-2 hours, depending on the interest of the visitor.

Traveler Reviews of The Omaere Park

Local EcoTourism

It is an excellent place for urban Ecuadorians to see the varied flora, fauna and culture that is very near to the city, but far from view.
