Parque Zoológico Chorros de Milla, Zoological park in Mérida, Venezuela
The zoological park spreads across mountain slopes along the Río Milla, featuring native Venezuelan wildlife and artificial lagoons among 2000 plant species.
Established in 1958, the zoo emerged as a conservation center for local wildlife, receiving support from Cleveland Metroparks Zoo for staff training and educational programs.
The zoo functions as an educational facility where visitors learn about Venezuelan ecosystems through exhibits of jaguars, condors, anacondas, capybaras, and various monkey species.
Located 4 kilometers from central Mérida on Avenida Chorros de Milla, the zoo welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
The zoo incorporates natural waterfalls from the Milla River, creating a distinctive environment where artificial lagoons blend with the mountain landscape.
