Petencito Zoo

Nestled on the edge of Lake Petén Itzá, Petencito Zoo offers a unique glimpse into the native wildlife of Guatemala. The zoo spans two islands connected by a bridge, with forested trails winding through enclosures that house ocelots, pumas, jaguars, and spider monkeys. As visitors walk along the shaded paths, they can observe these animals in settings that mimic their natural habitats. The zoo’s shoreside position also provides picturesque views of the lake, adding to the serene and immersive experience.
