Arrive right when gates open at 9 AM on weekdays to beat school groups and the midday heat. Morning hours are best for seeing active animals, especially the big cats and primates during feeding times.

Om
Raske fakta: Home to over 1,200 animals from 180 species, this zoo focuses heavily on Colombian wildlife like jaguars, spectacled bears, and the colorful Andean cock-of-the-rock. Its breeding program has successfully hatched dozens of endangered yellow-eared parrot chicks, a species once thought extinct in the wild.
Høydepunkter: The zoo's nocturnal house lets you watch kinkajous and owl monkeys in near-total darkness, illuminated only by dim red lights that mimic the night. You can walk through a walk-in aviary where hundreds of butterflies and tropical birds zip past your shoulders, landing on feeders just inches from your face.
Insidertips
- Wear closed-toe shoes and light clothing, the paths are well-paved but Cali's heat and humidity can be intense by noon.
- Skip the food court inside and grab a meal at one of the nearby restaurants on Avenida Roosevelt after your visit.
- Visit the butterfly garden before 11 AM when the butterflies are most active and the light is best for photos.
- Bring a reusable water bottle, there are free water refill stations scattered throughout the grounds.
