Chilean National Zoo, Animal park in Providencia, Chile
The Chilean National Zoo is an animal facility in Providencia housing thousands of animals across about fourteen hectares of land. The grounds sit below San Cristóbal Hill and display various sections for different species.
The facility opened in nineteen twenty-five and started as a basic animal exhibition. Over the decades, it developed into a modern center for research and species protection.
The zoo serves as an educational space where visitors learn about wildlife protection and conservation efforts through direct observation. The daily routines and planted areas show how people work to care for animals and their habitats.
The zoo is open daily and can be reached by bus from nearby stops. Shaded areas are available for resting, and drink stands are located throughout the grounds.
The zoo displays both native Chilean animals like pudús and guanacos alongside creatures from other continents such as tigers and bears. This mix lets visitors experience South American wildlife directly beside more exotic species.
