WebsiteThis is one of the most well-preserved areas of Buenos Aires, founded in 1874. At present the owners are Mexican and Argentine businessmen, who protect the conservation and the development of species that run a danger of extinction. In this place 2,500 animals belonging to 350 different species can be appreciated, from doves to white tigers. It has an open precinct for bears and a cage for condors.
