Zoológico de La Habana, Zoo in Havana, Cuba
The National Zoo of Havana spans across 342 hectares of land with varied topography, housing more than 130 different animal species within forest-like surroundings.
The facility started operations in 1934 with 164 species, including a collection of 95 birds and 39 reptiles, later expanding its infrastructure throughout the 1940s.
The zoo serves as an educational center where visitors learn about wildlife conservation through demonstrations, talks, and direct observation of various animal species.
The zoo welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 9:30 AM and 5:30 PM, with facilities including food stands, restrooms, and dedicated areas for children.
The zoo received a male condor as a diplomatic gift from Chilean President Salvador Allende to Cuban President Fidel Castro.
