Zoo sights in Buenos Aires

  1. A

    Parque Temaikén

    Outside Buenos Aires is the exceptional zoo, Parque Temaikén. Only the most charming animal species are on display (think meerkats, pygmy hippos and white tigers), roaming freely around natural enclosures. An excellent aquarium comes with touch pools, and plenty of interactive areas provide mental stimulation. Taxis from the center cost around AR$120 and take 40 minutes, or grab bus 60 marked ‘Escobar’ from Plaza Italia.

    Jardín Zoológico

    Artificial lakes, pleasant walking paths and over 350 species of animals entertain the crowds at this relatively good zoo. Most of the enclosures offer decent spaces, and some buildings are impressive in themselves – check out the elephant house. An aquarium, a monkey island, a petting zoo and a large aviary are other highlights.
