About Bioparque Temaikèn

Temaikèn (Bioparque Temaikèn) is a zoo in Belén de Escobar, in the vicinity of Buenos Aires, and the only zoo in Argentina accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Its name combines tem, earth, and aiken, life, in the language of the native Tehuelche people. Covering 72 hectares, it specialises in native Argentine wildlife as well as exotic and threatened species. The Temaikèn Foundation also owns the Osununú wildlife conservation area and runs programmes to protect the Paraná pine ecosystem and butterflies and orchids within the national conservation system. The biopark is a popular tourist destination.
