#### Enjoy close encounters with the colourful animals and birds that are native to the wild countryside of Chiapas at this popular animal park.

Discover the fascinating wildlife of the state of Chiapas at the Miguél Álvarez del Toro Zoo (Zoológico Miguél Álvarez del Toro). Spot everything from big cats to birds, monkey and snakes in re-creations of their natural habitats. ZooMAT, as it is known by many locals, opened in 1942 and is named in honor of an acclaimed Mexican biologist and nature author. It stands in a 343-acre (139-hectare) reserve and focuses solely on regional animals.

Follow the 1.6-mile-long (2.5-kilometer) paved trail that travels around the zoo. The verdant jungle vegetation gives the impression of a safari site in the midst of the creatures’ natural habitats. Many animals are housed in enclosures while others, such as deer and rodents, roam freely throughout the grounds. Look up to watch monkeys swinging on branches and leaping between the trees.

See several species of big cat, including cheetah, jaguar and puma. Observe crocodiles, iguanas and frogs, among other reptiles and amphibians. Get an insight into the wide variety of birds native to Chiapas. Macaws, owls, peacocks, quetzals and toucans are all present.

In the aquarium are examples of the region’s fish and turtles. The tapir, which is an herbivorous mammal with similarities to a pig, is one of the more unusual animals. Watch for the brightly colored butterflies and snakes nestled within the shrubbery.

For a unique experience, join a guided tour at nighttime, when the active period is just beginning for the zoo’s nocturnal residents.

Drive 20 minutes southeast of Tuxtla Gutiérrez’s city center to reach the zoo. Parking is available if you are arriving by car. Public buses travel here, although taxis offer a quicker and more convenient option.

Miguél Álvarez del Toro Zoo is open from Tuesday to Sunday and has an admission fee. Entrance is free on Tuesday. There is an additional fee for the nocturnal tour. Stop at the café and kiosks where you can purchase drinks and snacks. Alternatively, bring your own food to eat at the designated picnic area.
