Córdoba Zoo, Animal conservation center in Córdoba, Argentina.

The Parque de la Biodiversidad, formerly the Córdoba Zoo, occupies a section of Sarmiento Park in central Córdoba and belongs to the city municipality. Since its 2023 reopening it follows a no-exhibition policy: it works as a wildlife rescue centre for animals seized from illegal trafficking and kept as pets, and visitors walk its grounds under a respectful-contemplation approach.

The facility began in 1886 from an idea by businessman Miguel Crisol and officially opened on December 25, 1915. Since then it evolved from a traditional zoo into a modern nature conservation park focused on rescue and education.

The name recalls the "Barranca de los Loros", a cliff where burrowing parrots once bred before the zoo was built there. Since reopening in 2023 the park follows a no-exhibition policy, so visitors watch animals from a distance and learn about the rescue of wildlife seized from illegal trafficking and kept as pets.

The grounds are easy to navigate, with marked paths through different animal areas that you can walk through at your own pace or with guided tours. It's best to arrive early when animals are more active and the sun is not too strong.

The site was chosen in 1914 for the Barranca de los Loros, named for the burrowing parrots that once bred there. The subspecies involved, Cyanoliseus patagonus conlara, is the burrowing parrot of central Argentina. The zoo opened on 25 December 1915.
