Text description provided by the architects. Santiago Metropolitan Park covers an area of 722 ha. at San Cristobal Hill. Inside the park, the 5,6 ha. Zoo was founded at 1925. This historical condition involves a question of some complexity: the difficulties of space for animals are opposed to the virtue in their location, close to the city in a slope with a strong natural character and an open view of Santiago. The policy followed so far has been to improve the general conditions of the existing Zoo location, developing various infrastructure and management projects.
