Jardín Botánico y Zoológico de Asunción
Bedste tid at besøge
Weekday mornings between 8 and 10 AM offer cooler temperatures and the fewest crowds. The dry season from May to September keeps the walking paths firm and the animals more active.
Budgettips
Entry costs around 10,000 to 15,000 Paraguayan guaraní (roughly $1.50 to $2 USD), making it one of the city's cheapest outings. No special passes needed, just bring cash as card payments are not always accepted.
Anbefalet til

Om
Hurtige fakta: Paraguays største grønne område strækker sig over 110 hektar tidligere præsidentejendom, komplet med botanisk have og zoo i ét. Zooen huser over 90 dyrearter, herunder jaguarer, aber og tapirer, mens den botaniske sektion fremviser mere end 100 plantearter fra Paraguays forskellige økosystemer.
Højdepunkter: Det gamle præsidentpalæ på grunden står stadig, og den falmede storhed antyder de overdådige fester, der blev holdt der i slutningen af 1800-tallet. Når man vandrer gennem de tilgroede rosenhaver og forbi forfaldne springvand, føles det, som om man er snublet ind i et glemt kulisse fra en historisk dramafilm.
Insidertips
- Skip the zoo section if you are sensitive to animals in cages, the enclosures are outdated and some conditions are poor.
- Bring a blanket and snacks for an impromptu picnic under the massive lapacho trees near the lake.
- Visit the old railway station replica near the entrance, a small but photogenic slice of Paraguayan history.
- Wear closed-toe shoes and insect repellent, the grassy paths can get muddy and mosquitoes come out after rain.
