This flora and fauna refuge is especially conditioned for the enjoyment of
visitors. Offering a unique experience to get to know and enjoy the most
varied landscapes of the plains. It limits north with the El Baúl Shield,
whose rocks originated 400 million years ago. Here, the majesty of the
Vene-zuelan plains is lived to the fullest, characterized by flat, flood-prone
lands, with its hills, plains, deciduous forests, gallery forests, streams,
brooks, lagoons, and outcroppings of moriche palm all this surrounded by
the Portuguesa, Cojedes, Chirgua and El Pao Rivers. It's an ideal place for
fishing lovers, bird watchers and nature lovers. Scientists also have their
place in Piñero, counting, since the 80's, with a Biological Station that
supports Scientific Research and Environmental Education. For more than
45 years, the owners of Hato Piñero have combined the cattle keeping
activities with the preservation of the environment in its 80.000 ha., since
then, hunting has been forbidden and wild animals show a sense of security
not usually seen in most of the natural parks, allowing the observation of
different species from an extraordinarily close distance. It is clear proof that
man can coexist with nature in an atmosphere of respect and rational
utilisation of the resources. In a fauna inventory made in 1990, the
existence of 342 species of birds, 50 mammals, 42 reptiles 104 fish, and 14
amphibians was proved. And there is still more to discover! Everything
