Inaugurado em dezembro de 1924, localizado na Zona 13, in the southern part of the city are the airport and the attractions of Aurora Park. Aurora Park on Boulevard Liberacion is a pleasant place to spend an afternoon. along the northern rim of the park are the remains of a colonial aqueduct.
The park entrance is marked by a huge statue of Tecun Uman, the national hero of Guatemala who was slain in single combat with the Spanish conqueror Pedro de Alvarado.
Just inside the entrance and to the left is the zoo, which features lions, leopards, crocodiles, monkeys, peccaries, jaguars, panthers, snakes, alligators, iguanas, elephants, and roving photographers.
Out in the back are rides for the kids. One section, to the left of the main entrance, features wildlife of the Peten, including raccoons, coatis, agoutis, pheasants, jaguarundis and tepezcuintles (pacas, or gibnuts).
Asociacion Guatemalteca de Historia Natural – Asociación no lucrativa que maneja el Zoológico para el Ministerio de Agricultura. Nuestro objetivo es eliminar las jaulas y darles libertad a los animales, recreando así su habitat natural.
