Wikiri Sapoparque is a one-of-a-kind destination in Ecuador, offering the world’s largest and most fascinating amphibian exhibition. Nestled in the heart of Ecuador, this incredible experience invites visitors to explore the breathtaking diversity of frogs and toads. From vibrant colors to unique sounds, and from varying sizes to intriguing reproductive methods, Wikiri Sapoparque unveils the mysterious world of amphibians like never before.

 

A Universe of Amphibian Diversity

At Wikiri Sapoparque, you’ll witness the incredible diversity of frogs and toads found in Ecuador. Our exhibits showcase a wide range of species with remarkable traits, including colorful skin, unique shapes, and behaviors that will leave you in awe. Some species even produce toxins through their skin, adding another layer of wonder to these already extraordinary creatures.

The mission of Wikiri Sapoparque is to not only display this astonishing variety but to make people fall in love with amphibians through playful and immersive exhibits. We believe that once visitors experience these animals up close, they’ll better understand the vital role amphibians play in maintaining healthy ecosystems and the importance of conservation.

Because protecting them is a responsibility that falls on all of society, Wikiri Sapoparque is committed to educating the public about the fragility of their existence. By raising awareness through fun and interactive exhibits, we hope to inspire visitors to take action in protecting these incredible creatures and their environments.

Guided by Science and Innovation

What makes Wikiri Sapoparque truly exceptional is its foundation in science and research. The Centro Jambatu for Amphibian Research and Conservation and Wikiri, two pioneering institutions in amphibian conservation, support the park. These organizations bring cutting-edge science to every aspect of the exhibition, ensuring that visitors leave with solid, reliable information about amphibians and their role in nature.

Centro Jambatu is at the forefront of amphibian research, exploring a variety of scientific fields, from taxonomy and morphology to behavior and conservation. Their “Noah’s Ark” project aims to prevent the extinction of endangered amphibian species by combining efforts from scientists, conservationists, educators, and the community.

Wikiri: A Leader in Amphibian Conservation and Biotrade

At the heart of Wikiri Sapoparque is Wikiri, a private company dedicated to the sustainable biotrade of Ecuadorian frogs and toads. Wikiri was founded to support amphibian research and conservation efforts by breeding and selling frogs for the educational and pet markets. As a leader in Latin America, Wikiri uses advanced science and technology to manage the breeding and reproduction of native amphibian species, ensuring their survival while also promoting education and awareness.

Through their partnership with Centro Jambatu, Wikiri has become a symbol of how conservation and commerce can work hand-in-hand to protect Ecuador’s incredible amphibian biodiversity.
