Cordoba is located near the geographical center of Argentina, in the foothills of the Sierras Chicas mountains on the Suqu?a River, about 700 km west-northwest from Buenos Aires. It is the capital of Cordoba Province. It is the second industrial center of Argentina, but retains many of its historical buildings dating from the colonial era.
Inside Sarmiento Park is the City Zoological Garden which is situated in an area of 17 hectares.
Cordoba Zoo was opened in 1915. Among the main attractions are Asian elephants, zebras, African lions, Bengal tigers and Jaguars from Misiones, collared anteaters, wild boars, a hippopotamus, the sacred monkey from Arabia and Far East and the Tibetan Bear.
