This large zoo is the best in the country. It has a good collection of species indigenous to Colombia, including chiguiros (capybaras), oso hormigueros (anteaters), plenty of monkeys and a mariposario (butterfly enclosure). There's also a good aquarium that includes many Amazonian species. It's 2km southwest of the center in Barrio Santa Teresita and is best accessed by taxi.
