Cali Zoo, Zoo in Comuna 2, Cali, Colombia
Cali Zoo is a wildlife facility in the city with multiple sections housing South American species, reptiles, birds, and large mammals in separate areas. Visitors walk through the grounds and observe animals in recreated natural habitats designed for different animal groups.
The zoo started as a simple animal collection and was later developed into a modern facility dedicated to wildlife preservation. The transformation into today's installation began in the 1970s when a specialized organization took over management.
The zoo functions as an educational center where school groups from Cali and surrounding regions learn about Colombian wildlife conservation.
Access to the facility is available through multiple entrances, and the main gate is accessible for people with mobility restrictions. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are explored on foot and pathways have varying conditions depending on weather.
The facility preserves one of the country's largest animal collections with numerous species native to local mountains and river regions. This makes it an important place for research and study of these South American species.
