Located 200m from the old imperial residence of Qunita da Boa Vista, Rio’s zoo has a medium sized menagerie of animals: mostly Brazilian mammals and endangered species. The tropical bird aviary and the Nocturnal House where you can get up close with sloths, bats and other night creatures are the highlights.
