Zoo Lagos, Animal park in Barão de São João, Portugal
The Zoo de Lagos extends across landscaped grounds with environments designed to replicate natural habitats for 150 different animal species, including penguins and capuchin monkeys.
The zoo began construction in late 1997 and officially opened its doors on November 16, 2000, marking the introduction of a major wildlife facility in the Lagos region.
The facility contributes to environmental education through school programs and scheduled animal feeding demonstrations that teach visitors about wildlife conservation and animal behavior.
Visitors can reach the zoo by taking the A22 motorway to the Sines exit, following signs to Bensafrim, or using the ONDA bus service from Lagos city center.
The zoo houses one of the largest groups of capuchin monkeys in captivity, with thirty-three individuals living together in a dedicated enclosure.
