Your Experience
Getting started

São Paulo Zoo is one of Brazil’s largest wildlife parks, offering an engaging experience in a forest-style environment that mirrors the Atlantic Forest. The park boasts over 2,000 animals across more than 230 species, all housed in naturalistic habitats designed for their well-being.
- Big Cat Area: Discover lions, jaguars, and spectacled bears roaming spacious enclosures surrounded by native Atlantic Forest vegetation. These big cats are most active before 11am.
- Brazilian Wildlife Habitats: Encounter maned wolves, golden lion tamarins, giant anteaters, chimpanzees, and axolotls in habitats that replicate South American ecosystems. The zoo is actively involved in conservation and breeding programs for several endangered species.
- Elephant and Large Mammal Habitats: Along the main lakeside circuit, you'll find elephants, giraffes, rhinos, and hippos. Notably, the elephant enclosure features a water feature and open ground.
- Aviaries and Bird Section: Marvel at macaws, toucans, flamingos, and endangered Brazilian bird species in vibrant open-air habitats filled with dense tropical planting.
- Reptile and Amphibian Houses: Explore temperature-controlled interiors housing caimans, snakes, turtles, and South American amphibians—a perfect way to great down during the afternoon heat.
- Forest Walking Circuits: Stroll along shaded paths that loop around a central lake through an Atlantic Forest canopy. These circuits connect all major animal sections with clear directional signs for easy navigation.
To conclude your visit, relax in designated rest areas or enjoy refreshments at the park's on-site food outlets before making your way out of the zoo.
