Wakatá, meaning sacred, was transformed by the Muiscas into the word Bacatá, the name given to the region that later became known as Bogotá.
Our Biopark is an ecological reserve focused on the welfare of species, mainly Colombian, where you can have an encounter with nature, learn about wildlife, their ecosystems, and the threats they face.
Our purpose is to maintain high animal welfare standards, promoting the care of Colombian biodiversity through research projects and environmental education programs.
Where do the animals in the Bioparque Natural Reserve come from?
Forfeitures: The keeping of wild animals as pets is prohibited by Colombian law, so when trafficked animals cannot return to their natural habitat, they are relocated in institutions such as ours by the environmental authorities.
Exchanges with other institutions: Bioparques de Colombia and the world form a network of allies, so we can bring and send animals to and from other institutions, in order to contribute to the conservation of species and maintain viable populations.
Births: Many of our animals reproduce naturally.
Bioparque Wakatá is a conservation, research and education center that has become a home for animals that have been victims of illegal wildlife trafficking in Colombia and different parts of the world. In our habitats we find:
- Tropicarium: Anaconda, boas, molurus python, spiny dragon, false coral, turtles (Morrocoy, mata mata, snapping turtle), salamander, frogs, Indian baboons, ocelot, Magdalena crocodile and white-headed marmosets.
- African savannah: Hippos, ostriches, water buffaloes and lions.
- Zigzag trail: Tigers, jaguar, white-headed marmosets, white-tailed deer, peccaries, llamas, antelopes, goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, gray foxes and tapirs.
- Birds: Parrots, macaws, kingfishers, eagles, owls.
Primate Islands. Spider monkeys, capuchin monkeys, corn monkeys. - Comarca del Cóndor: Andean bear, Andean condor, pumas.
