Beautiful zoo located on the Rio Cali. The enclosures are embedded in tropical vegetation. There is also an aquarium with Amazon species. There are many information areas worth highlighting, where children can playfully acquire knowledge about the importance of fauna and flora for Colombia. Admission at 33,000 COP/adult = €7.50 high for Colombian standards, but worthwhile. I have never seen a white tiger anywhere else.
