    visit this zoo was a pleasant surprise, this located in the slope of the Hill so the vegetation is abundant, has a Museum, Aviary and herpetarium. I recommend visiting it, must be prepared to walk and climb slopes.

    I feel that animals are somewhat neglected and the areas where are are small and little cared. It has an interesting snake. In General, the Zoo is very large.

    One of the best zoos of the Republic it, but is that the best, since it has a fauna only in the region and the space that it occupies very comforting as to spend a whole day in its facilities
