Santacruz zoo

Santacruz Zoo is a facility in San Antonio del Tequendama that houses animals from Colombia and around the world in separate enclosures. The grounds feature distinct areas where visitors can observe primates, reptiles, and other species in designed habitats.

The zoo was established and has grown over time from a smaller facility into a center dedicated to animal protection and research. This development reflects a growing commitment to safeguarding endangered species in the region.

The facility runs educational programs that help visitors connect with local animal species and understand their conservation needs. These activities make wildlife protection tangible and meaningful for people of all ages.

The facility is open to visitors most days of the week, with separate ticket prices for adults and children. School groups can inquire about group rates when planning their visits.

The facility is home to a population of Miller's saki monkeys, a rare primate species that draws researchers and nature enthusiasts. These monkeys are difficult to observe in the wild, making this location important for learning about them.
