Santa Cruz’ zoo has a collection of native birds, mammals and reptiles kept in pleasingly humane conditions, although the llamas are a bit overdressed for the climate. Keep your eyes open for free-ranging sloths and squirrel monkeys in the trees.
Take micro (minibus) 55 from Vallegrande, 76 from Santa Bárbara or anything marked ‘Zoológico’. Taxis for up to four people cost around B$15 from the center.
