Zoológico de Cali

Top-rated South American zoo focused on Colombian fauna

Address Carrera 2 Oeste, Calle 14

Widely rated one of the better zoos in South America, with around 1,200 animals across 180 species and a serious focus on native Colombian and Amazonian fauna — condors, spectacled bears, jaguars, tapirs, monkeys. The grounds straddle the Río Cali and are pleasantly green and shaded, which matters in this heat. Easiest reached by taxi; allow half a day.
