Zoo Pomerode
Bioparque Zoo Pomerode
Opened in 1932, the oldest zoo in Santa Catarina state, home to lions, tigers, jaguars and many native South American animals.
Zoo Pomerode sits in the city centre of Pomerode, amid Atlantic Forest greenery. It keeps hundreds of species, including lions, tigers, jaguars and giraffes, as well as South American species such as macaws, capybaras and tapirs. In recent years it has been reformed into a 'bio-park', strengthening animal welfare and environmental education. The paths rise and fall, making it suitable for a half-day family outing. Tickets must be purchased. The zoo may close on Mondays, so check the official website.
