Zoologico de barranquilla, Zoo in Localidad Norte - Centro Histórico, Barranquilla, Colombia.
The Barranquilla Zoo maintains over 700 animals from 130 species across a 10,000-square-meter area filled with native and exotic wildlife specimens.
The zoo's origins trace back to the 1930s through land donated by Tomás Suri Salcedo, leading to its official inauguration as Roberto Puyana Zoo in 1953.
The facility exchanges native species with international zoos in Zurich, Lisbon, Barcelona, and Miami, contributing to global wildlife preservation efforts.
Visitors can explore the zoo from Monday to Tuesday after holidays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Tuesday through Sunday including holidays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The zoo houses a white tiger and spectacled bear, with the latter being elected as zoo president through a children's voting initiative.
