Zoológico de Cali

Introduction

Cali Zoo lies in western Colombia beside the Cali River, surrounded by greenery, and ranks among the larger zoos in South America. Built along a valley, the park is divided into ecological zones and houses hundreds of species from Colombia and beyond, with native birds, primates and big cats among the highlights. Trails link rainforest, wetland and grassland settings, so visitors can watch animals and learn about Colombia's rich biodiversity at the same time. It is close to the city centre and suits families or a half-day outing; allow a few hours and note that Andean afternoons often bring rain.
