CIPACTLI REPTILARIUM PUERTO VALLARTA

There are many groups and organizations in the BanderasBay that dedicate their efforts to the conservation of the turtles, but the CipactliReptilarium is one of the few institutions that focus in the preservation of the crocodiles.

This reptilarium is located inside the CentroUniversitariode la Costa (CUC) and is a little ecologic reserve dedicated to the study of different reptiles, mammals and birds, but with special focus on crocodiles. It has an extension of .32 hectares with 9 aquaterrariums: 2 for mature crocodiles, 2 for young crocodiles, 4 for baby crocodiles and 1 for turtles from different species.

This reptilarium is also known for teaching firefighters and civilprotection departments how to handle bigreptiles.

Although the CipactliReptilarium operates under donations in its majority, as a celebration of their thirteen anniversary they change their biggest crocodile to a bigger aquaterrarium with the company of a female.
