Serpentario Reptile Shelter

If you’re staying in La Paz, you’re in for a treat because there are loads of activities on offer here. A nice place to visit if you have a little bit of time is El Serpentario De La Paz, in the La Posada neighbourhood. It’s an hour walk from the centre of La Paz, so you may want to get a taxi.

Baja California

The sanctuary is best known for its reptiles: iguanas, alligators, and a large variety of snake species, such as pythons and rattlesnakes. If you’re there during feeding time, you will learn about the snake’s feeding habits! You can also enjoy guinea pigs and rabbits, tortoise, water turtles and an aviary full of colourful birds. Most animals are rescues and will be rehabilitated here.

The Serpentario centre is open all year round, offering educational tours led by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers.

Best time to go

The weather is great all year round and it can get particularly hot in the summer months with occasional tropical rains and storms in August and September. Winds are generally stronger and bring cooler air during the winter months – perhaps the best time to visit Baja California. Spring brings warmer temperatures with the least amount of rain. January to March is the best season to see migrating whales give birth in the lagoons.
