Welcome to Zoològico Dr. Juan A. Rivero, Mayaguez, Puerto Rico

Zoologico Mayaguez, Puerto Rico / Mayaguez ZooJust a short drive from Cabo Rojo (about 20 minutes) you can get close and personal with the wild side of Puerto Rico and have a fantastic time with your family at the Mayaguez Zoo.

The zoo is managed by the Compañia of Parques Nacionales.

The zoo contains a nice selection of animals which are divided into two groups which are the African Forest and the African Savannah.

The zoo was recently renovated and it is very well kept.  It is almost like being at a tropical garden or jungle.

One of my favorite features of the zoo is the bird sanctuary where you go into a open outside room with a netting ceiling where colorful tropical birds and parrots are free to fly and hang out with you.

Hours

The zoo is open Wednesday - Sunday from 8:30am - 4:00pm

Admission:

Please call for rates or go to the official website (another window will open)

How to get there

Take Route 108 past the University, then turn right at the sign for the zoo.

Following are some photos of the beautiful animals at the Mayaguez Zoo

Watch the pedestrians, you may see friendly iguanas walking by seeking for a cool shaded spot at the zoo.

Enjoy your photo tour at the Zoo. (not al animals are shown here, just a couple of friendly creatures at the zoo)
