The Ciego de Ávila Zoo, located in Cuba, has a fascinating history that goes back to its foundation. This unique space was established with the aim of providing an educational and conservation environment for the diverse wildlife of the region. Founded in 1962, the zoo has evolved over the years, not only as a place of entertainment, but also as a center dedicated to the preservation of species and environmental awareness.
The vision behind the creation of the zoo was to offer visitors an experience beyond the simple observation of animals in captivity. It was designed with the unique idea of focusing on sensory interaction, providing visitors with a deeper connection with wildlife. Through this innovative approach, the zoo seeks to promote awareness about the importance of conservation and respect for wildlife.
The variety of animals present at the Ciego de Ávila Zoo is impressive and reflects the rich biodiversity of the region and beyond. From endemic species of Cuba to exotic animals from other parts of the world, the zoo is home to a wide range of inhabitants. The enclosures have been carefully designed to ensure the well-being of the animals, providing them with environments that closely replicate their natural habitats.
Among the most prominent attractions are native species such as the jute, years ago this zoo was famous for having two allbina jutias, a very rare species to find, currently they are no longer there, but this allows us to learn about the local fauna. In addition, the zoo houses emblematic animals from other parts of the world, such as lions, jackals, hyenas, coati and exotic birds. This diversity offers visitors the opportunity to appreciate and understand the richness of global wildlife.
The educational approach of the zoo is manifested through interactive programs, educational talks and exhibitions that highlight the importance of the conservation and preservation of natural habitats. In addition, the active participation of the local community in conservation initiatives is encouraged to ensure long-term sustainability.
The Zoo de Ciego de Ávila is not only a place of entertainment, but also a center committed to education and conservation. I have to say that it is in better condition than the 26th Zoo in Havana, which makes me quite happy with this installation. Its wide variety of animals creates a unique and ideal experience to visit with the little ones at home.

Ojala los animales sean bien cuidados, este tipo de lugares es una gran oportunidad para que las personas puedan informarse y conocer más pero a veces ¿A que costo? Aquí en Argentina había un zoológico en el medio de la ciudad y sucedieron muchísimas cosas que provocaron que se cierre pero por el hecho de que algunos animales ya eran muy adultos o no se podían trasladar el lugar se reformo como un santuario que se puede visitar de forma gratuita y los animales tienen muchísima más libertad e intentan que no haya un contacto directo entre personas y animales para evitar el estres.
Estoy muy de acuerdo con tu comentario, me entristece muchos que no cuiden a los animales debidamente, pero en este zoo en particular ponen mucho de su parte para que los animales estén en buenas condiciones, eso fue lo que me incitó a hacer este post. Muchas Gracias por comentar .. Saludos desde Cuba 🇨🇺☺️
This looks sad, especially the monkeys in a concrete prison. I could never support this sort of animal abuse.
I don’t usually like zoos because of that, monkeys always look very sad. It’s a shame that they put so much security on them.
beautiful zoo, I have never seen camels up close, they look majestic
Yes, the camels are very beautiful, thank you very much for commenting ... greetings😊
