Auto Safari Chapin, Drive-through safari park in Taxisco, Guatemala
The animal sanctuary spans across extensive grounds with 96 different species of animals and 70 plant varieties throughout the reserve zones.
The Auto Safari Chapin opened its gates in 1980 as a natural reserve area, introducing Guatemala to the concept of drive-through animal observation.
The park functions as an educational center where Guatemalan families learn about native and international wildlife through direct observation and guided experiences.
Visitors can access the park from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM, with entrance fees at 75 quetzales per person.
The facility combines vehicle-based animal viewing with boat tours around artificial islands where animals roam in designated habitats.
