For more than a decade, the MOA has been monitoring the behavior of the Andean bear on a daily basis. In addition to its scientific character, the MOA has contributed by being an important space for non-formal education allowing local and foreign people to become environmentally literate about the conservation of the Andean bear and its importance. Taking into account the essential role of biodiversity for the functioning of ecosystem dynamics and, therefore, for the development of communities.

Testimonios

Simplemente excelente, una experiencia única y mágica el tener la oportunidad de ver Osos de Anteojos en su estado natural a tal distancia. Felicitaciones a Don Danilo por su amable recibimiento y por compartir sus conocimientos. Hay más actividades para realizar en el lugar además de la observación de osos.

Amazing place – at the rim of an agricultural zone but they still manage to live next to each other. We were very lucky to see 6 different bears including a mother with cub (which apparently is rare to see). They don’t feed the bears or try to attract them in another way, so no guarantee to see them which is good as ITS NOT A ZOO!

Un lugar mágico que, gracias a la dedicación de las personas ahí, han logrado conservar en tan buen estado un sitio único, dónde se puede ver a los osos andinos cerquísima, y en su hábitat. Además el trabajo de conservación que se realiza con la comunidad para mantener el entorno es sumamente importante para proteger a los osos.
