Eco Zoo San Martin is a small wildlife park outside Baños, set in the dramatic Pastaza gorge landscape. Its draw is the chance to see Ecuadorian and Andean animals close to town, particularly for families or travellers not heading deep into the Amazon.
Conditions and expectations matter: this is a modest regional zoo, not a world-class conservation centre. It is best treated as a short stop combined with nearby viewpoints, waterfalls, or adventure activities around Baños.
