Are you thinking - why did they
misspell 'Toucan'? It's spelled 'Tucan' in Spanish!

Animals & Plants

spectacular, & the animals as curious as we are. |

The Old Tucan
AND Steve said: "Let there
be life." The Tucan hotel has been around for over 4 years. We have changed
a lot since then - the shelter has been replaced with a higher and cooler
structure, the guest kitchen has been upgraded, and more rooms have been
added. We think it is better the today. Here are some photos of how it was
before. |
