Small zoo outside Cartagena

Does anyone know the name of the finca outside CTG where they have various animals? Last time I went to CTG the traval agent said it was closed but don't know if that was a permanent thing. Think it was called Barbilla or something like that.

Try Barranquilla There is an excellent zoo at Barranquilla, you could do a day trip there.

thanks for that - I didn't know. Do you know the name of it? Is it OK to go there by bus during the day do you think? How much would a taxi cost from CTG?

Easy Yes go by bus then taxi, it is a proper municipal zoo so I guess it is called Barranquilla zoo. I was amused by the sign at the entrance that forbade the carrying of guns inside the zoo. You can do it in a day provided you start early, the road is very safe.
