The Getúlio Vargas Zoo extends across 250,000 square meters of Atlantic Forest remnants, containing 1,400 animals from 134 different species.
The land originated from the Areia Preta farm, given to Frederick Meuron as compensation for losses during the Battle of Pilaja in the 19th century.

Visitors can explore a 3,000-meter trail through the park grounds from Tuesday to Sunday between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM.
