At only 16 Km. from the bridge of La Barra, taking the Camino Egusquiza to San Carlos, almost at the ruta 9, you will find this state zoo, exhibiting in its majority native specimens and some other animals from different origin, mainly Africans.

Even if it is not a zoo of big dimensions, it is a nice drive to do on a sunny afternoon. In general it is well maintained and the animals are in very good conditions. The park is by itself a place with a lot of charm, specially by the riverside (you can see the greenest part in the picture below).

The road from and to La Barra is in good conditions and has very beautiful views that are characteristic of the Uruguayan countryside.
