Córdoba Zoo

Córdoba Zoo is a facility spanning 17 hectares where around 1200 animals from about 230 species live. The animals are housed in naturalistic areas that recreate different ecosystems and show how they live.

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 park functions as a center for environmental learning, where visitors discover native Argentine wildlife and understand conservation efforts. People come here to see how different habitats connect and to experience how such places protect endangered animals.

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.

Particularly interesting are the sections recreating Patagonia and the Chaco region, where visitors see how different species coexist together as they would in the wild. This gives an authentic sense of how ecosystems actually work.
