What is likely the best place in Colombia to see the widest variety of animal life resides in the western portion of the city, in Barrio Santa Teresita. The Zoológico de Cali is a surprisingly clean and well-organized spread with every imaginable mammal (lions, tigers, pumas, jaguars, and spectacled bears — oh my!), native birds (including condors and parrots), and snakes from the Valle de Cauca.

Traveler Reviews of Zoológico de Cali

Zoologico de Cali

More animals than most zoos I've visited. For instance, they have a male lion with a full mane and a pride of probably 6-7 females and several lion cubs.
