Over the holiday, I had a chance to visit one of the zoos in Lima. Despite the massive crowds, it was a fun experience. The zoo is very nice and the animals are well-housed and well-taken care of. Part of what made it so interesting was that they had animals from each of the different regions in Peru-the coast (where I live now), the mountains and the jungle. I didn't take any pictures of the coastal animals, but I took some to prepare for future trips to the mountains and the jungle.
