Zoológico de Quilpué, Municipal zoo in Quilpué, Chile.

Zoológico de Quilpué is a municipal zoo in the Región de Valparaíso holding about 130 species and more than 700 specimens, from puma, guanaco and vicuña to the Andean condor and Chilean flamingo. It occupies the wooded former Fundo El Carmen, land left as an inheritance by Samuel Valencia for recreation.

The land, part of the Fundo El Carmen, was donated by Samuel Valencia as a recreation area for Quilpué. Under mayor Fernando Márquez Espinosa the Parque Zoológico de Quilpué was inaugurated on 29 December 1990. It began with alpacas, llamas, foxes and Chilean birds, and later added species from other regions. After animal mistreatment complaints, the municipality backed its conversion into a rescue centre.

The land, known as Fundo El Carmen, was donated by Samuel Valencia as a bequest for recreation. Since January 2022 visits are limited to two guided groups a day on a 45-minute tour, a measure meant to reduce stress on the animals. The collection includes Chilean species such as the chinchilla de cola corta, the loro tricahue and the cóndor andino.

Since 28 January 2022 the park admits only two visitor groups per day, each accompanied by a specialised animal-care guide on a 45-minute tour. Book ahead and arrive at the assigned time; the guided format replaces free wandering through the grounds.
