The Zoológico Nacional of Santiago features more than 150 animal species. The park spans 4.8 hectares at the base of Cerro San Cristobal, just beyond the Funicular. The “Zoocine,” a small indoor movie theater, is entertaining for the kids. The trails are in a bit of disrepair, so be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes.
