This leafy 7-hectare (17-acre) zoo south of the city center is a hugely popular weekend spot for San Salvador families. Here, you'll find winding, shady paths and numerous small lagoons inhabited by roughly 400 animals and 125 species, including such crowd pleasers as lions, elephants, alligators, and a huge selection of birds.
