Very relaxing and beautiful place, especially for the variety of primates, so many of them native…read moreto areas in South America only. The animals look to be in good condition but like most things in Brazil, maintenance is a little lacking and some areas smell beyond the average zoo. The habitats are a mix too. The monkeys and birds seemed to be fine but the big cats are in very small enclosures with the tiger showing the obsessive pacing (I read this is a sign of stress/boredom in zoo animals). One of the elegant a had a bloody scar which was obviously due to nails in one part of the habitat (wtf?!?) Overall a great walk and one could spend hours just sitting and watching the monkeys but it does make me a little sad for the big cats and elephants. Entrance is 5reais adult/3 children. Overall worth the price of admission for those with kids or anyone interested in learning more about South American species. There were many I have never seen in any other zoos.
