The Zoo of the city of Mendoza is one of the biggest in Latin America.It was launched in 1903 on a draft of the well-known landscape designer Carlos Thays, and in the beginning was located close to the theater Pulgarcito.In 1940, the construction of the new zoological garden in the city started, in its present placement on the sides of Cerro de la Gloria, within San Martin Park, minutes from downtown and most Mendoza 4 stars hotels.The bill, signed by the designer Daniel Ramos Correas, was highly ambitious and daring: Mendoza zoological garden began the conception of "open zoological garden."
The animals were placed in huge semi-inclosures without bars, trying to replicate as closely as possible the typical habitat of every species.And although at present this innovative concept was strained by the construction of several cages, especially for wild animals, the San Martn Park Zoological Garden remains a great attraction tour, one of the must-see while in this city.
The zoological garden now has a road to stroll along of 4 miles long. There is an awesome colony of animals, some native, some exotic and even vulnerable.In its 48 fully forested hectares live monkeys, birds, elephants, tigers, zebras, hippos, foxes, llamas, vicuna and polar bears, to list just few of the almost forty species. There is so much to see that a good visit of the zoological garden takes more than three hours.The zoological garden, aware of the relevance of this expedition, organized guided tours aimed in the first place to increasing consciousness of the necessity to help save Cuyo's wildlife and the preservation for the planet.
Mendoza Zoo also has an educational program for pupils of careers in scientific disciplines, and biological science. Fortunately , there is an enthusiastic spreading of the message of the zoo by the participants of the programme, who work unpaid distributing promotional leaflets in schoolhouses and among those who spend their holidays in Mendoza. Mendoza has made the zoological garden a must tour for anyone who is temporarily or permanently inCuyo land.The Zoological Garden of Cerro de la Gloria is open from January till December, and its more than affordable rates include discounts for children, teachers and retirees.A trip that will enchant young and old alike.
The majority of Mendoza 4 stars hotels can supply data on how to get to the city Zoo, and other important particulars. This is unquestionably a must-see for fans of wild animals, and a perfect expedition to take the children.
