Zoológico Los Coyotes

Zoológico Los Coyotes is an urban zoo in Coyoacán with spacious grounds hosting both native and exotic animals in separate exhibit areas. The facility spans multiple landscaped sections that house different animal groups in dedicated zones.

The zoo was founded in 1999 as a local attraction in Coyoacán. Over time it grew into an institution focused on environmental education and wildlife conservation efforts.

The name references coyotes, animals that are native to the region and hold significance in local heritage. Visitors observe how these creatures are housed in spaces designed to echo their natural habitats today.

The facility is accessible by public transportation and offers restrooms and picnic areas for visitors. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended as the grounds require considerable walking and much of the space is shaded by trees.

The grounds feature lesser-known animal species from Mexico, offering visitors insight into local biodiversity that often goes unnoticed. This focus on native fauna sets it apart from zoos that emphasize only popular animals.
