Jardín Botánico y Zoológico de Asunción
Beste tid å besøke
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.
Budsjettips
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.
Anbefalt for
Budget travelers, Nature lovers, Families with older kids

Om
Raske fakta: Paraguays største grøntområde strekker seg over 110 hektar med tidligere presidenteiendom, komplett med en botanisk hage og dyrehage i ett. Dyrehagen huser over 90 dyrearter inkludert jaguarer, aper og tapirer, mens den botaniske delen viser frem mer enn 100 plantearter fra Paraguays mangfoldige økosystemer.
Høydepunkter: Det gamle presidentherskapshuset på eiendommen står fortsatt, og den falmede storslagenheten antyder de overdådige festene som ble holdt der på slutten av 1800-tallet. Når man vandrer gjennom de overgrodde rosehagene og forbi forfalne fontener, føles det som å ha snublet inn i et glemt filmsett fra en periodedrama.
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- Skip the zoo section if you are sensitive to animals in cages, the enclosures are outdated and some conditions are poor.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.
